Last night a group of us went in search of goatsuckers.
The first sucky thing we encountered was an accident on sunrise highway that closed all three lanes and herded the traffic off onto the service road. Police closed all of the lanes because it involved a death, and hours later on our return the road was still closed to traffic eastbound.
After finally arriving in Quogue and walking some roads we heard a Chuck wills widow calling, after some time, in this location: https://goo.gl/maps/STy7SXHkRqN2 but it was distant and came from west of where we were. we could not relocate it afterwards.
on our way back home we stopped at Hampton west park https://goo.gl/maps/JxoKFuvdM6U2 where we heard 2 distant calling whip poor wills.
