Given recent reports of singing Whip-poor-wills I decided to get up VERY early and as I pulled up at the lookout parking lot at 4:40AM a Whip-poor-will was singing very loudly only about 50 yards away! I even managed to study it in my scope in the high beams of my car, easy to spot by the light reflecting from it's eyes. I then waited in the car until dawn, while listening to the Whip singing on and off. FYI - It actually didn't stop singing until about 5:30AM.
