UPDATE: The DNR is no long seeking reports of whip-poor-wills, but we’d love to you hear about your sighting! Please post them in the comments section below.
The West Virginia Division of Natural Resources is looking for whip-poor-wills.
DNR officials are worried that the bird is declining in population and so they are reaching out to the public to get a better sense of Whip-poor-will presence throughout West Virginia.
The bird’s really hard to spot since its grey, black and brown coloring act as a camouflage. But the call is unmistakable.
If you see or hear whip-poor-wills in West Virginia between the dates of May 10 and July 31, 2014, please email DNR Wildlife Resources Section biologist Rich Bailey at richard.s.bailey@wv.gov.
“Include the date and location, being very specific; where you saw or heard the bird; your name and phone number; and whether you saw or heard the bird,” said Curtis Taylor, chief of the DNR Wildlife Resources Section.
