LISTENING TO A WHIP OR WILL

[GFB]

Also this reminds me of times as a kid camping out in a tent on the river with my family on all nite fishing trips.. couldn’t afford to satay in a motel but a tent was just awesome.. camp fire , Beenie weenie’s, hot dogs on a stick with loaf bread for a bun... never had a worry back then but I’m sure my mom did.. but I grew up to be a good man.. at least I think so anyways

I love satay.

Peace and quiet is great! Time has come for me to be sitting out on the patio enjoying the beautiful night.

Thanks for the reminder to enjoy the pleasant things in life.

I grew up in Kentucky and had heard Eastern Whip-Poor-Wills most of my younger life, but when I moved to Georgia I noticed that the call is slightly different. I think most of the calls we have here in Georgia is the "Chuck Wills Widow". Very similar, but slightly different.

Several years ago my wife and I were driving a side road in Rockmart, GA and saw a Chuck Wills Widow sitting in the middle of the road, just squawking away. Very cool birds either way, and the Chuck Wills Widow looked somewhat like Stealth airecaft.

Very cool critters. More info at Auduban site:

S, amen to that! You both turned out well. Your mommas would be proud of both of you. Happy trails and may God bless America.

I didn't know hummingbirds smoked. Who knew!!?

B, smoking stunted their growth. Happy trails and may God bless America.

Lucky we used to eat Sh*t on the shingles by the river lol. Only old timers will remember that stuff. For the people who don’t know here’s a photo

All I can hear is the River roaring in back of house from all the rain! Love to listen to it going over shoals !

Got back home from ATL last night and sat out on the porch for a while listening to our whiporwill and a couple of owls. Best stress reliever ever.
Wife said she saw our first hummingbird a couple of days ago. Going to put feeders out today.
