I thought I'd post this item of interest as nobody else has yet. I received word today that a Chuck-wills-widow was seen in Brooklyn's Green-Wood Cemetery during a Brooklyn Bird Club walk. The bird was photographed sitting on a granite headstone and was shortly thereafter chased off by one of the local Red-tailed Hawks. Peter Dorosh has more information on his blog here:
