The Chuck-will's-widow was singing constantly under the full moon from 12:45 a.m. to 1 a.m. on Friday, June 25 from the south side of Doyle Road. At one point it was very close to the road and we heard it growl and click. Randy Beacler and I finished our Whip-poor-will survey route about midnight and we drove over from Miner's Bay to see if Chuck was still calling.
