From VCE:
We’re looking to connect with landowners who have *regularly heard
whip-poor-wills on their property in recent years* and are willing to host
a recording unit from *mid-May through mid-August, 2026*.
The devices only record audio and are:
· small and weatherproof
· easy to deploy (just strap to a tree)
· no maintenance required
We’ll ship everything needed (or drop it off), and cover return shipping.
Landowners don’t need to collect data or manage the device—just host it on
a tree where Whip-poor-wills can be heard.
We’re hoping to identify ~12 host sites for this summer’s pilot, with
additional interested landowners considered for future years when we hope
to expand this project.
