The Whip-poor-wills are back at the Snake Mountain Road, Weybridge site;
perhaps having taken advantage of the warm, southerly winds of yesterday.
Two singing at the same time, starting at 8:25, virtually exactly at the
end of civil twilight (8:28pm) considering the low overcast. They sang
for about 40 seconds.
The location is 0.7miles north of the intersection of Forrest Road and
Snake Mountain Road. They were up the wooded slope on the west side of
the road.
I have been to this site virtually every night for the past two weeks
hoping to identify the arrival date.
Earliest dates at this site for recent years are:
2015 May 3rd
2014 May 10th
2013 May 7th
2012 May 6th
