Common Poorwill calling - Ft. Collins, Larimer Co.

[Larry Griffin]

Hi Cobirders,

Last night just before dark I heard the unmistakable call of a Common
Poorwill for a few minutes at my home in SE Ft. Collins. It was so close
and loud, we first heard it inside the house! Although I've
seen/photographed them here before, this was the first time I've heard
one calling out of its normal breeding range - a real treat. Here is a
link to a 2005 photo (from the CFO website/ Birding Resources/Links to
Information for Birders/ Colorado Bird Photos by various photographers -

Larry, on a very foggy May 26 night in the mid to late 1970s, I lived in Denver at 200 South Cherry, in the Hilltop neighborhood.  I heard a poorwill which I then saw sitting (and calling) on the roof across the street (north) from my house.  I would have to look up the exact year.
