Are Certain Birds Nocturnal?
I keep seeing a small, common brown bird fly around at night, and it seems to be attracted to light, almost like a moth. Is it rapid?

My first thought was an owl. I know they definately are. There are different ones. Others are
Families Strigidae & Tytonidae ( which are owls), Podargidae (Frogmouths)
Caprimulgidae ( nightjars) & Aegothelidae ( Owlett-nightjar)
Most of them are beautiful Birdsl
Powerful Owl
Masked Owl
White-throated Nightjar
Southern Boobook
Barn Owl
Australian Owlet-nightjar
Here is just one picture. I can give you a link to a page that will show you all of them.

It sounds like your describing a type of bat...They are not actually attracted to the light, its the small bugs flying around the light, that they are eating.
