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

Mine too! My wife complains that they keep her awake. They sing me to sleep.I hear people gripe about whippoorwills all the time. I love to hear them, one of my favorite sounds on earth.
THANKS!
You got bushes you'll probably have a cat bird. And a brown thrasher too. And maybe a tohee.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.
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.You got bushes you'll probably have a cat bird. And a brown thrasher too. And maybe a tohee.
I have a pair nesting every year in the bushes behind my mailbox.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.

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..It'll be awhile here. Our whippoorwills are pretty much gone around here now. Don't know what happened to them. Usually about mid-summer before you start hearing rain crows. The whippoorwills (actually mostly chuck-will's widows) usually start singing on my place on the SC/GA line about mid-April.
