Whip-poor-will sounds
Nightjar and whip-poor-will calls captured as single clean whistles or repeating series, some set against crickets, cicadas or distant forest ambience. Several recordings group multiple birds into choruses or extended conversations not named in the title. Lengths run from two-second one-shots to three-minute beds that sustain a nocturnal atmosphere.
