Observation details
Slept in the back of my pickup on a minimum maintenance road near the start of one of my BBS routes. Barely conscious and mostly asleep, heard a poorwill calling in the distance and fortunately I had sense enough to wake up to make sure it was not part of a dream. Bird was calling about 0.5 mile or more to southeast of the point. Conditions were perfect, with no wind, clear skies and partial moon. Only called briefly and then again around 5 a.m., but was not heard in the evening. Sleeping in the back of the truck paid off. See audio. Typical poorwill call, no other nightjar likely at this location.
