ENTS,
Right now in the woods outside our kitchen window I hear a
Chuck-will's-widow calling. Both Whip-poor-wills and
Chuck-will's-widows live around here. On some nights we hear the
Whip-poor-wills but not the Chuck-will's-widows.

Also, from the back porch, especially around dusk, I could hear Gray
Treefrogs calling. Earlier today I could here a couple of Fowler's
Toads calling.
There are a couple of vernal ponds nearby where I can go at dusk and
listen to Gray Treefrogs, Pine Barrens Treefrogs, Green Frogs,
Carpenter Frogs and Fowler's Toads. It may not be too late to hear
Spring Peepers also. I can't remember for sure, but there might be
other species of frogs there.
I have also heard New Jersey Chorus Frogs somewhere, but can't
remember where at the moment.
Here's a little page about Pine Barrens Treefrogs:
