I was surprised to hear (not see) a woodcock conducting his nuptial flight
performance last night upon finally reaching my home under a crazy, heavy,
wet snowfall.  Apparently winter will end after all.   I usually associate
April with woodcocks.   I wonder if this is not exceptionally early(?)

 

Maybe we should all dance a little to mark the beginning of spring.  If you
would like to practice some woodcock dance moves (some of you probably
already dance like this anyway), here's an instructive video...brought to
you by an American woodcock (very sexy fellow indeed).
