Despite the overcast skies and slight drizzle the Chuck-will's-widow started calling at 9:07 tonight on Doyle Road and was still calling at 9:45 p.m. when we left. A Whip-poor-will joined in from time to time. "Chuck" remained on the south side of Doyle Road, moving around in the treed area, never crossing to the open area under the power lines as he often has done.
