[cobirds] Re: Whip-poor-will at Crow Valley (Weld)yesterday; tail pattern different from Mexican WPW

Hi Joe,

 

My girlfriend Nena and I were up there yesterday and she took a goo picture of the bird.  I will e mail it to you.  I think the tail has a wide enough band to make it an Eastern WPW.  We got great looks at it.  We bumped into Dick Schottler and Mark Chavez.  I'm sorry we didn't see you too.  I was thinking about calling you to ask you what roads Norma's Grove is on.  So, can you tell me now? 

 

I'm glad we got to see this Poorwill, I'm thinking it's a good candidate for the Easter WPW.  Pretty cool, We also saw the Pine Warbler.

 

Good Birding,

CObirds does not allow insertion of  a link,

but if  one goes to key words:

"Mexican Whip-poor-will photos," 

on the top line there is a fine photo of the underside of the tail of

a MexiHcan WPW. In that image, the white is partly bordered by brown, and thus different from 

the horizontal line separating white from black on the Eastern WPW.

I am getting convinced that ID is Eastern Whip-poor-will.

Perhaps it is still there (along west fence, just north of northernmost campsite) and someone

will hear its voice, different from Mexican WPW.
