Rob et al.,
The "Atlas of the Breeding Birds of Tenn." shows records of
Chuck-wills-widows
in every county east of Knoxville except for Johnson & Unicoi Cos.
I guess the map in the new National Geographic field guide is just another
example
of imprecise mapping, which must be very difficult to do on the
continental scale.

College(Carter County) tonight and heard 2 Chucks singing which was a FOS
for both of us. I looked in the newest National Geographic birdguide (and
its gigantus companion) and according to their maps, the Chuck-Wills-Widow
range pretty much stops west of Knoxville in East Tennessee. I think it
would be neat to list everybody's favorite Chuck haunt to see just how many
areas we have in East Tennessee, east of Knoxville. I know of this area
which supports a couple of different places to hear Chucks and have heard
them there for years. I never realized their distribution was so low East
of Knoxville in Tennessee.
