Was “peenting” away here in Thetford at 7:45 this evening. He then launched into a partial aerial courtship display.

I have been here for 32 years…..and a male Am. Woodcock (or multiple) have blessed us with his/their remarkable courtship displays all these years. All right from our front porch or if i/we wander closer.

I even mow some pasture in fall to keep his singing ground open.

Ah, a sign of spring !!

Happy days
