Good Afternoon Eddie and MDOspreyers,

 I take it by "peenting" she means what I call for "rodding" (when the

Peenting is when woodcocks make the call that sounds like a nasally peent
from the ground before and after the flight display.  The male does the
circling zigzag flight display, but both male and female may make the
peent call.

May you all have a safe, Happy Birding New Year!
