    Chuck-wills-widow / Antrostomus carolinensis

    : Three records, May 24, 1974 in Bar Harbor, Oct 5, 2004, on a whalewatch boat off Bar Harbor and heard on Swan's Island Jun 25, 2022 .

    Miscellany: This southern relative of the Whip-poor-will nests north sparingly to S. New England and is by any measure very unusual in Maine, but in Jun and Jul 2018-2021, one spent multiple weeks singing in nearby Orland.
