Mystery bird of Wisconsin the whippoorwill described
The author outlines clues to identify the nocturnal whip-poor-will in Wisconsin. Details cover range across counties, migration timing from March to May, habitat preference in woods near farmland, ground nests with brown leaves, nocturnal feeding on moths, song lasting May to July with counts of whips, and decline due to woodland loss. The piece notes sightings by reader Earl Smith and contrasts with warbler activity in spring.
