  • Thanks to all for the corrections on the identification of this bird from a Whippoorwill to a Chuck-Wills Widow. Let me know of more.

  • I go back and play this one over and over!! Gives me such peace. I wish it was longer. I'd buy it!! So cool that you got the whippoorwill, peeper frogs, AND a summer thunderstorm all at the same time. AMAZING

  • I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I guess it's just normal country life around here in North Alabama. I can hardly wait for spring time weather again.

  • Wow, that was great!! The bird, the lightening, the summer night sounds!! If it was an hour long, you could sell it.

  • what kind of birds do we ear in the background ? 

  • I wish this were an hour long. It is so very soothing to an old country girl like me.

  • @Nyhee7

    Two separate and distinct birds. I made the same mistake.

  • we call them whipoorwills in Arkansas. Chuck will's widow, hmm, okay.

    Beautiful video, I wish you had more footage

  • I always thought those were "North Georgia Cuckoo's".. Was wondering if you can repost this in reverse? It might shed some light on the Whippoorwill family & apparent dyslexia in this specie. Maybe just a inverse Fibonacci curvature in its DNA?

  • This is exactly the sound I hear from about 12:00 at night till 4 am outside my trailer near the shore points in southern DE. If my windows are open it will wake me up- it DOES NOT STOP AND IT IS LOUD. So yes it is a Chuck-wills widow I checked other sites and Id know this call anywhere

  • Yes. This is a Chuck-will's widow. Not a whippoorwill.
