"Marked like a toad, moustached like a walrus, behaving like an owl, this repetitious bird comes to one's doorstone before daylight to unhinge the mind. Antrostomus vociferus. What does "Whip poor Will" mean? Nothing. Who is Will? Nobody knows. If Nature were evil, this moon-bird would be her favorite child. Yet heard at a little distance, its message is one of the sweetest in the orchestra of night." - Charles Harper
