Well, this is neither about Knox county or May 1, but last night at about 9 PM,
I was on Merlin Ridge, above my home in Cocke county, listening to owls and
nightjars. There's brief spell after sunset when all the whip-poor-wills in
the hollow join in calling, in an unsynchronized chorus . Each seems to have
a slightly different pitch and repetition rate. Facing westward and cupping my
ears in 5 directions from south to north, I could pick out sat least 10
individuals calling. Or so it seemed -it might have been as few as 8 or as
many as 15. No doubt there's some less crude methodology for identifying
individual calls.
I also heard a pair of great horned owls, calls sometimes overlapping, before
the w-p-w ensemble got going.
