A quick note on an observation from yesterday's Greeneville TOS spring count in Greene County--

On Round Knob at an elevation of about 600 meters, I found Chuck-will's-widow and Whip-poor-will together. All the goatsuckers above this point were Whips, while all below were Chucks.

The spot is at a powerline cut that crosses Round Knob Road in a sharp switchback just below the point where private land ends and Cherokee National Forest land begins. There is a house trailer in a clearing near the switchback, but the site is mostly deciduous forest with scattered pines.
