whippoorwill
n 1: American nocturnal goatsucker with grey-and-white plumage
[synonym: {whippoorwill}, {Caprimulgus vociferus}]

Whip-poor-will \Whip"-poor-will`\, n. (Zool.)
An American bird ({Antrostomus vociferus}) allied to the
nighthawk and goatsucker; -- so called in imitation of the
peculiar notes which it utters in the evening. [Written also
{whippowil}.]
[1913 Webster]


Caprimulgus \Caprimulgus\ n.
the type genus of the {Caprimulgidae}, including the
{whip-poor-will} ({Caprimulgus vociferus}) and the
{chuck-will's-widow} ({Caprimulgus carolinensis}).

Syn: genus {Caprimulgus}.
[WordNet 1.5 PJC]


Caprimulgidae \Caprimulgidae\ n. [L. capris goat mulgere to
milk.]
a widely distributed natural family of nocturnally active
birds including the {whip-poor-will} ({Caprimulgus
vociferus}), the {chuck-will's-widow} ({Caprimulgus
carolinensis}), and the {common nighthawk} ({Chordeiles
minor}); -- called popularly the {goatsuckers} or
{nightjars}. The nighthawks are sometimes active during the
day.

Syn: goatsuckers, nightjars, family {Caprimulgidae}.
[PJC]

The family . . . is alternately known as the
nightjars (derived from the "churring" sounds of
several species -- "jarring" the night air), or
goatsuckers, a nonsense name that should be
discontinued as it has its origin in the
preposterous myth that the birds sucked the milk
of nanny goats until they were dry. --Terence

the Americas)
