Just took a stroll down though the yard to the strip of woodland along the creek to check on wildfowers. None blooming yet but in bud. Flushed a Woodcock, twice. I didn't linger nor did I do a lot of traipsing around. I ran over one with the lawn mower one spring out by the highway.It flushed off the nest with feathers flying. I was so distraught that I would not go back and see if there there were eggs or hatchlings in the nest. I won't make that mistake again.Joyce Porter Falls of Rough ,Ky _________________________________________________________________ STOP MORE SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail ================NOTES TO SUBSCRIBERS============== The BIRDKY Mailing List requires you to sign your messages with first & last name, city, & state abbreviation. -------------------------------------------------- To post to this mailing list, send e-mail to: birdky@xxxxxxxxxxxxx -------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, send e-mail to: birdky-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject line. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Visit the Kentucky Ornithological Society web site at http://www.biology.eku.edu/kos.htm * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * BIRDKY List Manager: Gary Ritchison, Richmond, KY E-mail: gary.ritchison@xxxxxxx
