Ontario Birders Eastern Whip-poor-will calling activity is expected to be increase over the long weekend and next week as there is a full moon on Tuesday July 3rd.
Bird Studies Canada is asking birders, cottagers, and rural landowners across central Ontario to spend a few minutes at twilight (ideally about 30 minutes after sunset or 30 minutes before sunrise on a calm, clear, moonlit night) to listen for whip-poor-wills calling near your home, cottage or lake. If you are fortunate enough to hear the unmistakable call of a whip-poor-will, please report your observation to us using our online reporting form<https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/ONWPW2012>. We want to know the location, date, and number of whip-poor-wills you hear. Information provided will be used by researchers studying the distribution of this threatened species.
