Whip-poor-will_JF08746
Some birds feathers are beautiful because of their brilliant colors or bold patterns or outlandish breeding displays. The beauty of the Whip-poor-will's plumage is in its intricate patterns and subdued woodsy tones designed to help it to blend into the leaf litter of the forest floor. A very desirable trait for a bird who likes to sleep the day away on or near the ground.
