Title: Whip-poor-will Project
Post by: angieinto on June 08, 2011, 05:07:41 AM

Just curious if anyone else is taking part in the Whip-poor-will project for Bird Studies Canada?
Most of the routes are taken, but I know they were looking for some people to cover some other areas around the Niagara Escarpment and Oak Ridges area.

We are taking part, and I am very excited about maybe hearing/seeing my first Whip-poor-will.  :D
Sad their numbers are declining so much, as with many bird species.

They keep us awake at the cottage......of course they like to hang out by our bedroom window..... :roll:

I'll do my part and get on board with this as now I can report the little ***** for disturbing the peace...... :wink:  

Thanks for the link.

I'm glad to hear that! Sorry about the sleep though. :?

We did our route on Saturday night and didn't hear one.  :cry:
Going to try again.

It's all good......but boy can they belt it out...... :lol:

They are a rare site (at least for me)

Last time I regularly heard one was about 30 years ago at our old cottage on Indian River.
