"It could mean many things, according to the wealth of myth surrounding this night flyer. The note of the whippoorwill borne over the fields is the voice with which the woods and moonlight woo me." –Henry David Thoreau
This nocturnal bird, the Eastern Whip-poor-will (Antrostomus vociferous), is named for its famous call that is heard during late Spring through early Fall. It is less commonly seen than it is heard due to its camouflaged plumage that allows it to blend into leaf litter. These birds spend most of their time on the ground or on low horizontal limbs. They even lay their eggs right on the ground with no nest structure. Whip-poor-wills lay their eggs in sync with the moon cycle so that the eggs hatch during the full moon, allowing the parents to catch prey more easily in the brighter light. They feed on flying insects, mostly moths and beetles.

Have you ever heard a Whip-poor-will before?
