Marshall 1944 General Oerl May 21 Gainesville Ozark Co., Mo. shot the ? which I saw move up to a low twig in area where I was calling a circling. It attracted readily by imitated calls but too close to shoot. Went up to ridge & along road where greater numbers - all grunting & calling could hear about 6 or 7 at once. Shot it from 10' stul in opening of woods. shined another bird that kept up grunt as if bothered near nest. When seen before dark these birds fly with deep, merrned beats just above tops trees. Wings extremely long which gives butterfly- like effect. Sail a little south wing over back esp when going around over ground. Perch on twig crosswise. May 22 No owls on ridges to West- Grony Chuck-wills calling and two Whip-poorwills at dusk edge large field used for pasture. Whips' call close together as fast as possible Chucks several seconds apart. Saw only 2 Night-herbs
