A Late JMI Record of the Poor-will in Oregon.-While driving north from Merrill, Klamath County, Oregon, during the early morning of October 26, 1947, I found a freshly killed adult male Poor-will, Phalaenoptilus nuttallii mttullii, about two miles north of town. The bird’s back was bruised, apparently when it had been hit by a passing automobile only a few hours before. A previous late record for this species was reported by Walker (Condor, 36,1934: 178) for Tillamook County, Oregon, on October 27, 1933.-STANLEY G. JEWETT, Portland, Oregon, December 30,194.
