   Thanks to Jim Stasz and David Smith for the Sugarloaf Whip-poor-will
info.  I'll check out those locations sometime.

   This morning, Saturday, a few of us saw a Least Bittern at Hughes
Hollow.  It flew from the impoundment on the left of the main path to the
swampy area on the right.  We heard it calling after this, but couldn't
spot it.  We were also treated to great views of a singing Willow
Flycatcher and what may have been a mute Willow Flycatcher (or some other
empid).  A Prothonotary Warbler sang most of the morning and showed his
face on one occassion.
