Here is a bird which you have probably never seen, but might very well have heard. The Whip-poor-will is known much more by its call, than by how it looks.

I have been on holidays for the past two weeks. During the first week, I was preoccupied with fishing. Traditionally my wife and I have taken the last week of July and relaxed at the cabin. This year was no different.
Normally, it is one of the hottest weeks of the year. As everyone can verify, this past week was one of the coldest in history. On Sunday, we checked the weather network to pack appropriate clothing. The network promised some warm weather with a bit of clouds and a shower and an even more occasional thunder shower over the week.
