Chuck-will's-widow
In Naples Florida we hear the Chuck-will’s calling after dark each spring, but almost never see them.
Someone ahead of us on a Sabine Woods, High Island trail spotted this Chuck-will’s-widow perched on a branch in plain sight (if you knew where to look) and altered us. It was really a thrill to see one of these birds in daylight, quietly resting.
This black and white photo is a different image than the color photo of this bird that I previously posted.

Excellent image. Particularly love the eye catch showing the canopy shadows and sunlight.
Thank you! Photographing that bird was a great experience!
