    Ok I need help with this night time singer

    Central Arkansas..starts singing after dark doesn't match Northern Mockingbird, can't find the nightingale song anywhere they were the only two that came to mind..

    Call sounds sorta like weee da weee or woooo a woooo definatley three part sound and its LOUD...LOL Bird is sitting in trees behind our house we are heavily wooded.

     We have owls but this is not an owl for sure.

    We don't have nightingales in N. America. Try looking in the nightjars: Whip-poorwill & Chuck-will's widow are both in Arkansas.

    Whip-poor-will?  Oh, Ravioli, remember when you thought I thought your avatar was something like a warbler?  LOL
