Chuck-will's-widow (Antrostomus carolinensis) (1)
- Reported May 18, 2023 07:57 by MI YU
- Brooklyn Bridge Park, Kings, New York
- Map: http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&t=p&z=13&q=40.6996104,-73.9973745&ll=40.6996104,-73.9973745
- Checklist: https://ebird.org/checklist/S138260331
- Comments: "Condo path between Pier 1 and 2. Seen with Bobby W. While watching a small mixed flock of Ovenbird, Common Yellowthroat, Northern Waterthrush, Robin, and Catbird, the flock suddenly dispersed, promoted by the rush of a squirrel at the top of the slope.
The bird flew out over the path with a robin and a catbird, clearly looking larger than both. Overall brown with crisscrossed texture. Smooth, silent, and controlled flight as it maneuvered a short distance through some trees, up the path, finally setting down somewhere in the vegetation between the condo patios and the path. Prominent wide head, noticeably projecting from the body. No discernible flashes of white in the tail. Pretty comfortable calling this a CWWI but lacking documentation, ok relegating it to genus level."
