whip-poor-will survey Posted on July 2, 2012 at 06:55:36 PM by ginny
Was out last night to complete the whip-poor-will survey for Bird Studies Canada. Was doing square 17PK55 which includes Uphill and Alvar Road between Victoria and Wylie Roads.
The conditions were perfect - no wind, little cloud and cool enough to keep the mosquitoes at bay.
And the whip-poor-wills performed wonderfully. Got to see three, all sitting on the road. Got to hear at least 23. Also had wonderful displays by common nighthawks.
