Eastern Whip-poor-whil

A midsummer moon rises, the heat of the day dissipates, and the refreshing sounds arise from summer’s vespertine routines. In some lucky places in Wisconsin, that routine includes a non-stop cacophony, a song beautiful in a persistent and gritty way. You cannot help but love the Eastern Whip-poor-will.
