Chuck-Will's-Widow

After 1 previous attempt that failed I tried again this evening at the only reliable spot in the area to find Chuck-Will's-Widow to add it as a life bird.  After about 5 or 10 minutes of listening we heard Whip-Poor-Wills and then as the whip stopped "Chuck-Will's-Widow" was the sound that filled the area.  That was it, and then the whip sang again too, special to hear them both at the same time-and I got it on my list!  303 for the year.

Tomorrow I go to nearby Highland County and will hopefully get Golden-winged Warbler and YB Chat.
