The whip-poor-wills are talking up here in Doswell as well.  Last year was the 
first year that they didn't hang around for long.  My neighbors have been 
clearing even more of their "pesky underbrush" so I'm not very hopeful that 
they will stay this year either.  I'll enjoy the chatter while it lasts!

Hi, last night there was definitely a whip-poor-will calling in the woods near 
our house.    I thought I heard one over the weekend but was not sure due to 
the intermittent rain.   I don't remember hearing them this early, either - 
usually later in the season.

Subject: [va-richmond-general] This Early?


I was surprised by what I heard at 2006 April 6 11:55 pm, when I went outside 
to check on things in the yard. I heard a whip-poor-will! I didn?t know they 
came out this early. The insect noises aren?t even out yet, which is one reason 
why I hear birds all over the place here. But a whip-poor-will? I heard them in 
late May and June last year.
 
Has anyone else heard whip-poor-wills this year?
