[Tanager5556@xxxxxxx]

I have been listening for the Woodcock that has been visiting my place for  
the last few years.  I did not hear or see it last year.  I stepped  outside 
this evening around 6:15pm to do a few things and immediately heard the  Peent 
of the Woodcock.  I walked towards the Peent and then heard the whir  of wings 
and the calling of the Woodcock.    The Woodcock rose  higher and higher and 
then I could hear its call coming closer as it descended  toward the open 
field.  I never got a visual on it and of course did not  have my binoculars.  
It 
started its Peent call a short time after  landing and in a couple of minutes 
whirred into the air again.  It was  nice to know he had returned once again.
