I don't have access from work these days. Thanks. Folks The Whip-poor-will is still around my Waldorf property. It sang briefly last night about 7:30 PM. This is the latest I have had this species remain around the property. There was also a very good flight of thrushes about 6:30 AM when I was heading out for the commuter bus. I heard numerous Swainson's Thrushes, a few Veery, Wood, and Hermit Thrush. Too much surface noise with morning traffic and a bus to catch so nothing else to report. There were other birds in the large flock. The old Bill Evans tape is very instructive for learning these calls. The new CD by Evans and Michael O'Brien, which I have not received yet, should be the training tool you will need. For the later, go to www.oldbird.org. I don't know if the former is still available but suspect the calls are on the later. Oldbird is a non profit small business run by Bill Evans and I encourage you to support it. Regards.
