Subject: Re: [NatureNS] woodcock
Hi Donna and All
Your post reminds me of a day about 30 - 35 years ago.
I forget exactly. I was going camping for a week or so around Pestowesk.
I could drive to the lake at that time - the good old days!
Anyway just before I got to the Farmlands Trail near that wet spot
a female woodcock and 3 - 4 chicks were on the side of the road.
The chicks were small!
That would be about May 4 or 5. I went back and told Peter
and he came with the cameras . I don't know if he had any luck.
It was a good omen nevertheless - the fishing was good!
Do you think we will be able to go fishing in Keji come April?
Or will I need fill the bathtub!
Enjoy the spring
Paul

Last evening, I stepped out for a walk and heard the familiar "peeent" comi=

It's nice that some things don't change.
I smiled. Spring and nature.
Our woods has lots of muddy and poorly drained areas for foraging, and open=
spots for courtship.
I've always wanted to see the courtship display but never have:

I have seen them do this 'dance move' (really a foraging movement). It is =
more entertaining than courtship, though I love the idea that the male 'dan=
ces' and performs nuptial flights for the female. That should be a rule!

The next video was a surprise (never knew it existed), from Kejimkujik:
Keji Woodcock dance freeze<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DeSh9Shgwc5o>
If ever people complain of the slow speed limit (20 km) on that narrow dirt=
road, we could show this video.
Enjoy!
