All the time. I always think there's something in the road driving to the stand in the morning when I see their eyes glowing in the dark. Son of guns won't flush till your right on top of them.

Every afternoon hunt when getting out of the blind, never knew the name so just called them night hawks.

I've seen the bird since I was little, but never noticed them calling after dark until recently.

Night hawk is what we call them. We have a place where they lay their eggs on the side of the gravel road every year. No nest, just right on the ground.

Looks like a cousin to our Whiporwill around here

Don’t think that I’ve ever heard one. Pretty sound, though.
