Eastern Whip-poor-will
These birds are active at night so we were VERY fortunate to find this one dozing on a log motionless during the day. You're all probably heard this bird's calls over and over again during the night if you've been camping. Actually the record is 1,088 calls in a row by a single bird, perhaps accounting for their species name, vociferous.

Trumpeter Swans often use muskrat lodges for resting
