[PYRPYRFECT@xxxxxxx]

This evening, I went to the Millington Navy Base to see if the woodcock were 
courting.  A damp, scrubby are at the end of Singleton Parkway, just east of 
the MS Carriers training area, is usually productive at this time of year.  
In about 15 minutes, I heard 6 "peenting", heard at least a half dozen 
twittering in flight and observed 3 courtship flights.  The sky dance of the 
woodcock can lift a very heavy heart.
