Abstract:

Nightly sounds of the Eastern Whip-poor-will have not been as common as they once were, and the reason for the decline is not clear. The bird is poorly documented by traditional long-term monitoring methods. Biologists lack basic information about the current distribution, relative abundance, and population trends. Kelly discusses ways the state is now collecting data and how land management can assist in maintaining the bird.
