[nysbirds-l] Prospect Park WPWI

Yesterday Matthew Wills spotted a Whip-poor-will roosting in Prospect Park. The bird was in a Honeylocust tree next to Rick's Place. A bunch of us watched it at the end of the day until about 8:15pm. It was a great experience getting to observe this often heard-but-not-seen bird waking up,

Note: Tom doesn't run that list and as far as I know isn't even a subscriber to ebirdsnyc. How Tom thinks anyone should sign their post to that list is irrelevant. Since I do run that list I encourage people to sign first names but I have no current intention of making it mandatory. In fact
