Greetings all.  Just an FYI, Elk River Park is marked closed until March.  The gate is closed so I parked out of the way, off to the side of the gate and walked in this evening.  It was nice having the park to myself.  Right at dark when the last few White throated Sparrows were peeping on the far side of the upper parking area, 2 separate American Woodcocks started calling and doing the flight display. One of them buzzed right by me. Nice last day of January treat.

That is the earliest I can remember them doing that too.
