Friday night I left Oxford with the plan of hitting Caroline, Wicomico,
Worcester, and Somerset Counties listening for Chuck-wills-widow and
Whip-poor-wills.  Caroline Co.  had 21 Whip-poor-wills from Federalsburg to
north of Smithville Lake/Line Rd.  I heard no Chuck's from Tanyard down to
Choptank.
South of Sharptown in Wicomico Co.  I had 2 Whip's calling.  On old Rt. 50
marsh accsess I had one Chuck calling.  I then drove to Truitt's Landing in
Worcester Co.   There were so many Chuck's calling it was hard to count how
many.   It was a cacophany of Chuck's like I had never heard.  Probably
close to 25-30 birds.  On Ward Rd. in Wor. Co. I had a single Whip.   It was
2:45 am when I turned off of Rt. 13 towards Deal Island.  About 5 miles west
of Rt. 13 I had a single Chuck call.  I decided to go down toward the
Pocomoke to get Whip's but when I got down there everything had gone quiet.
It wasn't until around 5:00 am that I finally heard a single Whip calling on
Peach Orchard Rd.  It was a great night for Goatsuckers.  Also had a Falcate
Orange-tip and Henry's Elfin's around Old Furnace Town later on toward noon.
