They are regulars each year at a marsh behind my home in Powhatan. I banded
two in the mountains (at about 1800 feet) of eastern Rockingham County on
Saturday night. As large or a bit larger than a blue jay. When they open
their mouth, it is amazing. A great pink maw. Mouth pretty much extends
back to the eye. Reminds you of a frog or toad mouth. Charlie Blem says
that a Chuck-wills-widow (which is about 1/3 larger) is supposed to be able
to swallow a small warbler whole.
