I lived on Hanshaw near Sapsucker for 28 years and just moved to Lansing in January. Sapsucker Woods (the part owned by Lucente) was behind our house and I routinely heard Whip-poor-wills around 9 pm until the houses on Sanctuary Drive were built. After that the Whip-poor- Will. were silent. Maybe they are coming back? Candace
