 Its winter home appears to be still unknown.

Inasmuch as the common Whip-poor-will is unknown in the West 

 Indies (except for a single accidental occurrence in Porto Rico), it is 

 practically certain that Poey's record above quoted refers to the present 

 species, which otherwise is known only from Cuba, and seems to be 

 rare in collections. Mr. Zappey shot a single bird in June, in the dense 

 woods south of the Cienaga, but unfortunately it was too much mangled 

 to be preserved. Mr. Link did not meet with this species, but Mr. 

 Read says that he has noted it on a few occasions in the northwestern 

 part of the island, and writes that he has even found it nesting there. 



86. Antrostomus carolinensis (Gmelin). Chuck-will's-widow.

According to Gundlach, the present species is not rare in Cuba, 

 occurring every year, presumably as a winter resident. He attributes 

 it also to the Isle of Pines without special comment, this being the 

 only record so far available. It should be looked for in suitable 

 covert at the proper season.
