Observation details

Two in parking area- observed singing, also the deep ‘waw-waw-waw” repeated noise (that we have heard sometimes after a song speeds up) for an extended time. One went into the shrub and returned to the other individual more than once. Im marking this as courtship display because that seems to be what it is- doesn’t seem to be territorial behavior- but I’m not an expert on whippoorwill behavior. See pics.
