I hear people gripe about whippoorwills all the time. I love to hear them, one of my favorite sounds on earth.
Welcome Guest!

Late last night, I had a cold one on the porch with the resident whipperwill...

Did an image search.
We have those around our bird feeders.
I just didn't know what they were called
Never heard rain crow or yellow billed cuckoo.
That's one thing I learned for today.
THANKS !!!?
Rain crows are so secretive that this is the only shot I`ve ever got at one.

Cross threading is better than two lock washers.
Mine too! My wife complains that they keep her awake. They sing me to sleep.
I heard my first chuckwill of the year this morning right as it was just starting to show light in the east.

I been seeing lighting bugs and hearing whip-a-wills for about 2 weeks now in Sc. But I hang out half the night coon hunting. I used to have a whip-a-will set on the corner fence post in the pasture, he'd sing me to sleep a lot of nights.

The whippoorwills were talking in the mountains this morning. Sounded beautiful to me! Haven't heard the first one down here in Paulding.

Haven’t hardly seen any in Forsyth co. for some reason. Whippoorwills here the past few days. I’m on the lookout for my catbirds! Haven’t seen many mockingbirds about the new house so I hope that doesn’t mean the catbirds won’t show.

THANKS!
I'm always telling my Granddaughter & Grandson "There's a song for that" for just about any topic that comes up. This proves it! Both of 'em are into some sorta' hip hop stuff. But one day riding down I-75 we listened to Johnny Cash singing the Cadillac song and they loved it. Grandma made a chocolate pie so I exposed her to "Swangin'". We musta' sung that a thousand times! Never know what's gonna' appeal to 'em.
You got bushes you'll probably have a cat bird. And a brown thrasher too. And maybe a tohee.
I've always really liked this one:
My catbirds haven't come back yet. They'll be here in a couple weeks. I've got plenty of towhees and a resident pair of thrashers, though.

The whippoorwills were going off in Upson this weekend. Drove a couple city boys down visiting nuts. I love them.
Catbirds are another secretive bird. They nest in the wax myrtles around our dock at Seminole every year, so I do get to see them if I`m quiet.
I have a pair nesting every year in the bushes behind my mailbox.

Going out in the AM from camp to hunt turkeys you would always see ground doves and rabbits in the road.. get out the truck and hear the Wippoor-Wills....none of this lately...??? All ground nesting birds are in decline..

I had the catbirds in the leyland cypress by my deck. They would land on a branch tip and sneak in and around the branches to their nest. Great singers and cat mockers! Have several thrashers around now. Usually the cats will show by later April. Love the towhee, they were here so I expect them back.
