Male Eastern Whip-poor-will

hard to see, let alone photograph these shy birds- we have one resident on our farm, but have only had a quick glance of it once before it disappeared in the bushes.

Hey Gregory & Verena, I'm so jealous that you actually have them on your farm. It must be wonderful to hear them calling at night. I keep meaning to go out to the east end of Long Island to listen for them, but it can sometimes be three hours to get back home so I haven't done it yet.
