Bryce,
I suspect the crazy warm weather has a few Common Poorwills up and active.
Poorwills can over-winter and go into torpor, remain in a hibernation state
for a long while. I think a few of the native american tribes called them
the "sleepy-ones".

Hi all!
Walking my girlfriends dogs, we stumbled upon a little nightjar on the
ground. It flushed before I could get an ID. About a minute later, it
called. No doubt COPO. Now I know most nightjars don't come back until the
spring, what's the case with Poorwills?
Good birding,
