I spent a morning with Danny Poet in Queen Anne's County, MD this
morning.  We started out with a bank hearing 4 or 5 CHUCK-WILLS-WIDOWS
on Tilghman Neck Road.  Then, we saw another CHUCK on the road in front
of us.  This one flew to a fence post and stayed for a while right out
in the open.  Then the bird made a quick circuit of a nearby bush
(chasing an insect?) and returned to another fence post down a few feet
from the first perch.  Absolutely wonderful way to start a birding
morning!
