Location Camp Falling Rock, Newark, OH
As mentioned in the entry for Red-winged Blackbird, I was at the 2002 version of our father-son campout, this time at a different camp site called Falling Rock. It was early in the morning on Saturday, and I was very uncomfortable sleeping in my tent, so I got up and started gathering wood.
I heard the incessant song across the main field near the entrance of the camp. It echoed in the night and sounded like the very essence of a summer night.
This was known simply as the Whip-poor-will at the time. The species has now been split into Eastern and Mexican.
Cornell: Eastern Whip-poor-will
