They are becoming more and more rare as each year goes by. I would imagine most people find them annoying, keeping them up all night etc. My grandfather sure did on his farm in MD. I was told there was many a night that he threw his shoes out the window into a tree outside in an always foiled attempt to shut them up. I like to record nature as a hobby and I’ve been unable to get these guys on tape. May is usually when they go-a-courtin’. Thank you. This forum is absolutely the best!

Huh? Who’d have thought? My family and I go down there quite often. Never heard one. Night hawks yes. We always go down late August though. I’m sure that’s why we’ve never heard any. They’re probably all whipped and poor-willed out by then. LOL Thank you much. I’m going to have to plan a trip down there in May. I would assume that’s the time they’d be barkin’ up a storm?

When our kids were small and we camped in the NJ State parks it was such a great sound to wake up to. There used to always be some around,but for a long time now we have not heard any. We thought we heard one while camping in the Lehigh Valley last month and it brought back many happy memories! 2010 Rockwood 2607 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, Ext Cab Bird Freak • View posts Calhoun, Ga.

Seriously though, I see from Google maps Calhoun, GA has a Johns Mountain Wildlife area. Maybe they have a good stronghold there? skipnchar • View posts Topeka or somewhere else Senior Member Joined: 12/17/2003 View Profile Posted: 10/20/11 03:13pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Most any campground with a wooded area in Kansas has the birds. Generally they only do a LOT of calling in the spring time (mating season). They're all over the woods of the midwest in Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Arkansas etc. Good luck / Skip 2011 F-150 HD Ecoboost 3.5 V6. 2550 payload, 17,100 GCVWR - 2004 F-150 HD (Traded after 80,000 towing miles) 2007 Rockwood 8314SS 34' travel trailer US Govt survey shows three out of four people make up 75% of the total population Reply to Topic  |  Subscribe  |  Print Topic  |  Post New Topic  |  Oldest first Newest first  Page of 4   Next Open Roads Forum  >  RV Parks, National Parks, State Campgrounds & More  > Whip-poor-wills
