: Was walking along the Nature Trail at KendallIndian Hammocks park....Saw what was either a Chuck Will's Widow or a Whip Poor Will....Was about 8:00 A.M. so the lighting was still poor...I am sure it was one or the other (binoculars)..My question is can anyone tell me which is the more likely of the two to be in this locale...Also saw two oven birds, yellow warbler, many gnatcatchers, Cardinals and one juvenile red bellied woodpecker....Thank you
Chuck-will's-widow is the most likely, to early for Whip-poor-will. Chucks are large and very brown, Whip-poor-will is smaller and grayer in color.
