I just received word through the eBird alert system for Tompkins County, that a WHIP-POOR-WILL was flushed by a group of birders bushwhacking through the Hawthorn Orchard around 6:00AM this morning. The bird flushed up, perched, and was seen well by the group. Approximate location was here: N42.4357931,W76.4687685
