Marshall [faded] 1944 General Acc't May 20 Gainesville Ozark Co. Mo. Chuckwills were always around edges of balds; Had bad luck with both. I Chuck-will would lead me along - flying in circles thru woods low over and giving hoarse grunts in rapid succession. Then start calling farther away. No owls or way back but Olive-backed Thrushes heard in sky. Birds few in this valley. After passed Sycamores with their Woodpeckers were only 3 p. Summer Tanagers, 1 p. Bluebird, 2 p. of Indigo Buntings, 1 Pileated Woodpecker, twice, complete. May 21 afternoon - obs. coll. in rain. P.M. Went to top ridge across bridge from town - On cypress slope called up Chuck-will - successfully- they give the grunts rapidly & flap around 1 ft above and all thru their tour - around and around you but very hard to see in gloom. Call from low stumps & low branches.
