Dan and MDOspreyers

Chuck-will-widows have been singing along Old Marshall Hall and at the end
of Accokeek Road West in Accokeek, Prince George Co., MD.  I had them
singing last on May 14.  See De Lorme page 36, C3.

Try about 8:30 PM when they start singing and good luck seeing these
animals.
George
