It is very short. Whippoorwills are aerial hunters, catching their insect prey in flight in their wide mouths. They do not need bills to hunt or feed, and have evolved with their beaks much wider then they are long. They do not have a bony palate, which may help them be more sensitive to when they have caught prey. They also have rictal bristles, sort of like forward-facing whiskers, whose function is unclear but may help them funnel food into their mouth and/or protect their eyes.
