Hi all,
 We had to take our dog to the vet early this morning so he didn't get  his 
usual walk till after 10 or so. While out standing by the pond, we somehow  
spooked what I thought was an American Woodcock, which was hunkered down in a  
tiny wet "rivulet" of rain/snowmelt between the hedgerow. It flew to the woods  
into the tangle, and I took the dog back home and came back out to search for  
it. I walked the wet woods (very open next to a field) and found nothing, but 
 when I went back to the property where we live, it once again flushed from 
the  wet grassy area in the corner. This time I got a good look as it flew back 
into  the woods, and etermined it was a woodcock.

Also saw my first E. Phoebe of the season fly into the willow next  to the 
pond!  
 
Cheers,
