We were working on nestboxes on our church's property in Spencerville, MD, and because we were having problems, we were stuck there until dark. Fortunately, it was worth it because as we were fighting to finish the box we were fixing, we heard the call of a Woodcock across the fence in the neighbor's field! The sounds that we heard were exactly like those in Thayer's Birds of North America software. Had we not seen the video clip on that CD, we wouldn't have known what alien ship had landed nearby and proceeded to make those noises. What a delightful surprise we had!
