I think there are two. I heard the first one at 9:00 Tuesday night at the stakeout on Valley Road at the Wildlands and then heard one calling 15 minutes later as I was walking back to my car. I doubt the first one would have moved that far. Also heard at least two whip-poor-wills and two nighthawks. The goatsucker trifecta.

I probably missed something, but what town are we talking about here? Thank you!

Sorry-the Wildlands are in Orland. The north entrance is on Bald Mountain Road. It’s about a mile walk to where I heard the first bird.

Not too far away in Holden our resident Cat Bird has been imitating the Chuck-will's-widow song as part of its repertoire.
