On Saturday, a few people caught a glimpse of a nightjar (apparent Chuck-wills Widow) at Jones Beach West End. In an attempt to hear the Chuck, I headed down there this evening and was greeted by a calling Whip-poor-will. It called for about 15 minutes, then began its hunt, flying once through my headlight beams. Early tomorrow morning may be a good opportunity to catch this bird before it roosts for the day.
