Chuck-will's-widow and the Whip-poor-will look very similar. They are both in the Nightjar family. I believe these are both Chuck-will's-widows

This shot was taken some years ago with a D7200 and a Tamron 150-600

This shot was taken this past week with a D850 and a 500pf and was much closer.

Great shots Ira esp the newer one. Over here in Scotland we’d heard of Whip-poor-will (Thanks to Taj Mahal smile 😀) but not Chuck Will’s widow, so thanks for the education and the lovely images.

Thanks, I think they get their names from the sounds that make
