About 5 months ago?   They're not that rare up in the hills.
No cause, ever, in the history of all mankind, has produced more cold-blooded tyrants, more slaughtered innocents, and more orphans than socialism with power. It surpassed, exponentially, all other systems of production in turning out the dead. The bodies are all around us. And here is the problem: No one talks about them. No one honors them. No one does penance for them. No one has committed suicide for having been an apologist for those who did this to them. No one pays for them. No one is hunted down to account for them. It is exactly what Solzhenitsyn foresaw in The Gulag Archipelago: "No, no one would have to answer. No one would be looked into." Until that happens, there is no "after socialism."

Still hear them when I go home to Monroe County.
If the South should lose, it means that the history of the heroic struggle will be written by the enemy, that our youth will be trained by Northern school teachers, will be impressed by all of the influences of history and education to regard our gallant dead as traitors and our maimed veterans as fit subjects for derision.

In the late 70's when I was a student on the hill.  Was all night bass fishing on Beaver Lake with a couple of friends .....

I've got them around here but not as many as there were a few years back.

They are common here in the Ozarks of North Arkansas.  You can hear the every spring.  It's a very comforting sound.

Yes they are.

The older folks around here will not set out their tomato and pepper plants until they hear whippoorwills in the spring, they believe the freezing weather is over, and is a competition to be the first to hear one. Usually around the middle of April.

We used to have a place up on Norfork. You could listen to them every evening!
