Dear Greg,
I run a BBS route that overlaps Allegany and Washington Counties. I ran
the route on June 6 this year and had Whip-poor-will at the intersection
of MD Route 40 and W. Shipley Road. This intersection is just off I-68
at the Town Hill exit (Orleans Road), less than a half mile west of the
Town Hill B & B (DeLorme map page 69, A-4). I get them there every year.
Closer to Baltimore, there are usually Whip-poor-wills calling along Mt.
Ephraim Road on the south side of Sugarloaf Mountain (DeLorme map page
55, B-6) on the May count. I have not been by there since to know if
they are still regularly singing.
Good luck,
David R. Smith
