Observation details
Continuing. Has returned for the seventh consecutive summer in the Sharonville State Game Area in Norvell Township in southeastern Jackson County. First reported on eBird Monday evening, May 15th by David Parsons. Whip-poor-wills started calling around 9:20 from the east side of Fishville. A few minutes later the Chuck-will's-widow was heard competing with the Whips and the numerous tree frogs which were calling. Initially the Chuck was calling from the east side of Fishville, but Robyn spotted it flying directly over our position as it went to the west side of Fishville. Over the next 10 to 15 minutes it was heard from both sides as it moved back and forth. We drove around Easudes and Lamon Road, but only heard one other Whip-poor-will. As we drove past the Chuck spot at 10:10 on our way home, the Chuck-wills-widow was calling loudly.
