Once on a hiking trip in the Ozarks, we had a whippoorwill get under
the rain fly of our tent. Did you know they make a little chirring
noise just before they do the whippoorwill call? It was an interesting
night.

The peepers have been out here for about a month. It was way too cold
for them when they emerged, and I was afraid it would kill them all
off. Nah. They just haven't been deafening this spring.
