[wisb] "Chuck" still amuck in Jackson Co.

I had a message from Jim Otto that he heard the Bartos Rd. Chuck-will's-widow 
last Thursday evening (July 2) prior to doing a second run of his Nightjar 
Survey route up there.  (He also had an uncomfortably close encounter with a 
very large Black Bear on the trail to the Dike 17 observation tower earlier 
that evening.  Sounds like both participants got a good scare out of it...)

In slightly more mundane news, I saw a couple of Am. White Pelicans soaring 
over the Oshkosh Fleet Farm store yesterday afternoon.  I also checked the 
Harvey/Wangsness Rd. pond complex in Columbia Co. on Friday evening - there 
wasn't much there except for a lone Killdeer and a bunch of Coots.
