[va-bird] Whip-poor-will for my yard list!

This morning, I woke to a singing whip at 6:10 a.m., just as it was starting 
to get light.  It sang a total of five times over about a minute.  After that 
I heard a call note repeated occasionally ("whip!"), followed by a strange, 
drawn out, whine.
And no, I didn't hear any mockingbirds immediately thereafter . . . .

Made my day.

(My neighborhood, Hollin Hills, is heavily wooded with 1/3-acre lots.)
