And I've been hearing whiporwills :) I love it when they start their calls, but sometimes the chorus of them can get so loud at night that I can't get to sleep.

I need help on this whippoorwill thing. My memory of them in Wisconsin is that their sound trailed off at the end: whippoorwillllllll. Here in southern Missouri it is a hard, insistent sound, with the last of the three sounds up a couple notes. Quite jarring and unpleasant to my ear. Anyone know if there are two whippoorwills? Or shall we simply attribute my confusion to my imperfect memory?
