2010-08-03 Thread Dan Bone
I did not hear the Chuck-will's-widow last night ( August 2, 2010). I was there from 9:03 to 9:45 p.m.. A Whip-poor-will started calling last night at 9:05 from the exact place that Chuck had always started calling (from the trees just south of Doyle Road where the power lines cross). That had
