Episode 75: Chuck-Will’s-Widow Lullaby

Recorded on April 17, 2025, at the dogtrot on the Moonpie Deck, this is the sound of the first of the season Chuck-will’s-widow returning to the hill country at Heart Place. He calls his rolling CHIP wido WIDO song from across the pasture in the mixed woods near Kingfisher Pond. On this cool spring night, with temperatures dipping below 50 degrees, only a few southern cricket frogs and spring field crickets join the chorus. This recording is best enjoyed in a quiet setting.
