Anyone know the name of this Night bird in Texas?

Its a loud hi pitch (close to what a man would whistle to a lady that was easy on the eyes). But it sounds so Lonely at night. I hear them every once in awhile. I was told whipoorwill but the sound clips I've listen to sound nothing like it. and I normally

It's probably a Northern Mockingbird. They can imitate all kinds of sounds, including catcalls, whistles, and other birds.

Nightjar serenades best heard in brightest moonlight

05.06.11

When a friend invited me to Townsend to see a whip-poor-will nest, I jumped at the chance. Maybe, after more than 35 years of bird-watching, I'd finally get a satis-factory look at the field marks on the head and throat that distinguish whip-poor-wills from similar but larger chuck-wills-widows.

Both species are nightjars - hard-to-see, gray-and-brown birds active mainly at night. They have small bills but huge jar-like mouths that open wide for capturing flying insects in mid-air.

Identification of "whips" and "chucks" is easy only if you hear them call. Their names imitate their repetitive calls - "WHIP-pur-will" and a whistled "CHIP-wid-WIDOW."

From a distance with binoculars, I viewed the Townsend bird on the ground. I took a few photos. When the bird suddenly flew, zig-zaging through the woods, I knew by its large size it was a "chuck" - not a whip-poor-will. Measurements with calipers of two pale, splotched eggs laid directly on the ground (nightjars don't build nests) confirmed "chuck" eggs - larger than "whip" eggs.

Aqtau Surfer Dudes - 10000 Birds

by Jochen

This was a business trip however, not a private holiday, and all my travel schedule allowed for at Aqtau – potentially, hopefully - were two short time windows: after arrival at the airport and before my trip inland & after my return from the trip... Get up at 6:00 am and bird until 9:00 am. Have breakfast at the hotel at 09:30 and be picked up by our local staff at 10:00 to head inland....
