[nysbirds-l] Central Park Nightjar

Around 4:30pm I spotted a Nightjar in the trees from the path just south from Captain's Bench in the Rambles - it could be observed on a dead branch sticking out from the tallest tree to the west about 3/4 of the way up. Although at a distance, it seemed the size of Whippoorwill and greyish

Alas. For what it's worth, a friend I texted before I could post hurried over there and saw nothing at all except some big dogs frolicking on the shore and an annoyed heron. My wife and I weren't able to get any pics (we hadn't even expected to be birding, and didn't want to chase after it), so
