Back in the70s we saw and heard them when they nesting near our home in Lyme. One actually built its nest atop of our garage. After dark we could go out with a flashlight and see them while they sang, The light did not seem to bother them. As the coyotes became established on our farm, the Whip-Poor-Wills left or were eaten. About once every five years we hear one as they pass through about now. .....

I went back several times during my snake-surveys and followed the development and dispersal of the 2 chicks. Until 1992, they nested in Blood Brook Valley in West Fairlee. We'd leave the porch light on my studio and watch them pickoff the moths we chummed in. They often perched on the house and called incessantly. Whippoorwills are quite common on in the pine barrens of LI & the Cape. Ted On Jun 10, 2014, at 10:04 PM, Linda D.
