Brief introduction: The Chuck-will's-widow (Antrostomus carolinensis (Gmelin, 1789)) is a nocturnal bird and part of the Caprimulgidae family. Its name is derived from a continuous repetitive song often heard at night, and is often confused with Whippoorwills due to their similar calls and unusual names.
