While camping at Douthat State Park in Campground A on the waterfront, a very
loud, realitvely fearless, whippoorwill landed on our campsite right behind our
tent, calling loudly. I actually was able to see it well enough to determine
that it was a male.
Earlier (right at dusk) it landed among the beached boats on the lakefront
and successfully called in another whippoorwill. Those of us watching heard
the low-pitched drumming sound several times.
Other than the volume while we were trying to sleep, this was a terrific
treat!
