Whip-poor-will
Caprimulgus vociferus

This member of the Nightjar family has large eyes to help him hunt insects at night. Birds in the east accent the first and last syllables of the call, while those in the west place the accent on the last note. This bird with the distinctive voice tells you his name in his call whip-poor-will!
