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?
