Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed Hi, all. Does anyone know where to find a chuck-wills-widow (within a reasonable driving distance from Baltimore)? In the last week, I have tried Soldier's Delight (2 Whip-poor-wills and a Barred Owl) without success. I also tried Black Marsh South of Baltimore, but the car traffic on Millers Island Road was so consistent that I could hardly hear my tape. (I did hear a sputtering Marsh Wren who did not appear happy to have his sleep disturbed by my tape.) Does anyone know of a place where a chuck-wills-widow is singing this Spring? Please feel free to reply individually.
