I am an ornithologist like Erin, and work on birds of prey. I don't know of any common English term that refers to all nocturnal birds that may eat other organisms, but common names are a fun headache for taxonomists. There are agreed upon common names that
go through specific committees, and you may want to throw your question past the American Ornithologists Society's taxonomy committee, or the IOC. </div>

There are also cultural and regional common names that are used, and those are really interesting from a historical and cultural point of view. <span style="background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);display:inline !important" class="ContentPasted0">One of my favorite
books I found in a used bookstore was <i>North America Birds Folknames and Names</i> by James Kedzie Sayre.<span class="ContentPasted0"> Here are a couple of the names that have been used for Caprimulgiformes in North America in the past that could confuse
them with entire different groups of animals.</span></span></div>
