Meet at the Carpool parking lot on the north side of Highway 26, immediately West of Highway 27.  7:30 p.m.                                                          Alex Mills            

Following all the enthusiasm for Whip-poor-wills at our November meeting, this evening walk will convene at a location where we can be pretty sure of hearing a whip-poor-will or two, and there is also a decent chance of seeing one. This is the night of the full moon at the start of the breeding season, and that should add to the whip-poor-will atmosphere. We will drive from the carpool lot to a site within a few kilometers, and then take a slow, easy walk to our target position. We should finish about 10 pm. There will be mosquitoes!
