Though quiet through much of July and early August, the Proctor Rd (Biddeford) whip-poor-will(s?) has been announcing his presence of late. We heard him a few times last week, most recently on Thursday, August 17. The whip-poor-will clock, once so finely tuned to 8:55 pm (plus/minus 3 minutes) near the summer solstice has shifted closer to 7:55 pm as summer marches toward fall. We were away for the weekend, so we have not listened the last few nights; but we're tuned in again now and we'll let you know if he sings out once more before packing up bags and heading to warmer coasts.
