We used to hear from regularly in our backyard in GA, but not for many years. Feral and domestic cats have shrunk suitable habitat for these birds drastically - they nest on the ground. What we hear now are Chuck-will's widows - sound very similar. My wish is that the Whippoorwill will recover. Create safe habitat areas for these wonderful birds of the night!
