Did you know....

When I was young, I learned that the whippoorwill bird stops calling when you point at it, even if you're some distance away.
It's like being able to feel when someone looks at you.

Really? That's so neat. I wonder why?

Yes, I've done that about 3 or so times. Whippoorwills were common in Missouri where I was for a bit as a child.
But you'd have to point right at them. Sometimes it took a few moments to find the right position.
My dad taught me that. I guess it was common knowledge.
Just how the rate of cricket chirping relates to the temperature I think it was.
