I was talking with Jim Otto today, who had been up to run his Nightjar Survey 
in Jackson County last night - typically, the most Whip-poor-will-rich route in 
the state (indeed, Jim had 30+ "Whips" on his route last night.)  He's been up 
there at least five times since late April and stayed until dark, but has not 
heard the Chuck-will's-widow in the traditional location on Bartos Rd..  
Considering that he was the only one who reported hearing it last year, and 
that was very early in the season, it would appear the bird has either 
relocated, or passed from this earthly realm.
