Common Nighthawk ( Chordeiles minor ) nesting habitat is limited to urban rooftops in southeastern South Dakota. Regional climate has changed from 1948 to 2016, with increases in humidity and solar radiation. Chicks exposed to high temperatures showed high baseline plasma corticosterone and low stress responses, suggesting that current climate influences stress response capacity.
