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

Tonight between 8:35 to 8:55 PM a bird was singing loudly in SSW which is practically my back yard. It sounded like a cross between a Wood Thrush and a Whip-poor- Will. It was a deep, flute-like sound, repeating in descending 7-8 notes, with a resonance that was really loud. Could anyone ventur

[cayugabirds-l] Mich Hollow Red-Shoulders and Acadian
