Whip-poor-will Recording

The whip-poor-will has become a nightly event. Tonight the bird (or a bird) sounded closer than the drainage slump. It was in the backyard adjoining ours. We went out to "look" for it. Spooked a herd of deer and then the whip-poor-will, which was calling to another one distant in the WMA, shut up. Before it did, Shari made this recording on her iPad.

Pretty cool, right?

And, by the way, I don't know why Hank Williams thought the "whipperwill" sounded too blue to fly. If anything, the bird sounds demented to me.
