What a great catch Kenny!

We used to hear whip poor wills years ago, until the landscape was covered with subdivision tracts. But I've never seen one.

Thanks Kenn, I was certainly surprised by this guy and thankful he allowed a picture.

I hear them often, but have never actually seen one. Now, I know why -- they are so well camouflaged. Great shot.

Yeah I can't imagine trying to spot one on a tree or on the ground - which is where they apparently hang out and hop up to snag insects.
