Whip-poor-will female brooding two almost fledged chicks (the second chick is under the adult's left wing). I found this bird a few years ago in a CT woodland. I always knew that adult nightjars were well camouflaged, but until I experienced this I had no idea that the chicks would blend into the forest floor to the point where they would be almost invisible against the leaf litter.
