For anyone looking for a Woodcock walk, we had one scheduled for this
weekend at Morgan Run. Notice the past tense.

I am rescheduling the walk for Saturday March 20 instead. Bob Ringler was
there yesterday and was finally able to get into the unplowed parking area.
He says it's a mess. With a couple days rain coming in, I was unable to rent
enough boats to hike the trails in. Hopefully next week things will dry out
a bit. I will be there by 6 PM if anyone wants to be early. I suggest that
boots be worn. Mine are L.L. Bean duck boots and can handle just about
anything.
    And bring flashlights. I'd hate for anybody to get lost out there after
it gets dark. This place is known for several man eating predators that only
come out at night. One is Dinofilis barlowii, also known as the "false
sabertooth". It is stockier than a leopard, has larger canine teeth and
probably fed on Australopithecus during its heyday. Once thought to be
extinct, it thrives at Morgan Run. Most of its related species fed on
Mammoths. It had a wider diet and survived only in this wilderness portion
of Carroll County.

Here is the official announcement stolen, I mean copied, from the trip list:

March 20, 2010, Saturday
Woodcocks at Morgan Run - 6:30 PM.
Meet at the parking lot for the south area of Morgan Run Natural Environment
Area at the end of Ben Rose Lane, accessed near the intersection of
Bartholow Rd with MD 97.  We will try to hear the calls and wing twitter of,
and possibly see, American Woodcocks doing their courtship displays.  We
will bird during dusk until after dark (sunset about 7:15 PM EDT, twilight
ends 7:40 PM EDT).  Jerry Tarbell leader, 410-857-1109.

PS - how many out there believed the stuff about the false sabertooth?
