[birdky] Sora and Chuck-Will's-Widow

Have confirmed for two consecutive days a Sora in Fayette County in the
enclosed garden center at the Meijer's in Hamburg.  The worker's there have
been seeing the bird daily for 2 weeks and called it a "chicken like bird"
that sometimes will walk right over their feet.  The bird actually walked
right in front of my cart today, stopped briefly, looked at me, then went
under some potted plants and I couldn't find it again.  It is amazing how
they can disappear when they want to!
This evening around 9:15 we had a Chuck-will's-widow calling on our back
property and Dave and I sat there being entertained by the call wishing
there was a way we could get the bird called in closer when I thought I
heard a mouse near the open back door and shut it quickly and a bit loud.
 This obviously spooked the bird and caused it to come right up beside the
garden next to the house.  We both looked at each other in shock when it
started calling from right next to us!

What a great day with two Lifers for me and a new State bird for Dave.  Dave
owes me two nice evenings out now for the new birds as that is our
arrangement and it has been a long time since I have been able to get a new
bird so I will be cashing in on these!
Anyone interested in coming out to the property or needing information about
the Sora please feel free to call.
