I've been unable to post any information due to some log-in access issue that 
I'm not sure has been resolved, so I hope this makes it.

Today I saw my FOY Ospreys (2), at the tail end of their consistent arrival 
time here at Jug Bay (last week in Feb - first week in March).  Then tonight, I 
went out to watch the WOODcock show, and was not disappointed.  They 
have been doing their thing now every night for about a week.  Today's peak 
of activity was from 6:25-6:35.  I also enjoyed seeing 2 pairs of WOOD Ducks 
arrive at 6:35, in a swamp where they normally breed  but don't overwinter.  
These were the FOY wood ducks for my "yard" list.  The third species (also a 
FOY) was a full chorus of WOOD Frogs, calling every bit as loud as the swamp 
full of Spring Peepers!

Cheers-
