How do I identify a nightbird?
If it were daylight, I would walk toward the sound until I saw the bird. That won't work in the dark.
We have one here in the fir forest at 1000 ft altitude in the southern end of the Willamette valley, I would like to identify. It says pop - pop- pop continuously from nightfall until shortly before dawn in the spring of the year. A monotonous steady almost non stop calling. Apparently demonstrating stamina.
I think the bird must be smaller bodied than a blue jay or it would be known.
Any thoughts?
