[Birdnet] Cache Co. Whip-poor-will recording

[Ryan O'Donnell]

To follow up on Tim's post to Birdnet, Ron Ryel did indeed find a
WHIP-POOR-WILL at the end of the road in Green Canyon last night.  Craig
Fosdick, Stephanie Cobbold, and I happened to be on our way up to the
same spot when we met Ron on his way down at about 10:15PM and within a
few minutes we were all at the end of the road, where the bird was still
singing.  It sang almost continuously for the 70 minutes or so that we
were there.  Ron and I were both able to record the bird: you can hear a
cleaned-up version of one of my two recordings at:

Also, I saw a male Bobolink singing to, displaying for, and mating with
a female yesterday at the bridge over the Little Bear River on the way
to Mendon on 600S, where this species has been reported before.  Here
are a couple photos:
