Rick Phillips and I were at Orchard Bog in Shady Valley, Johnson Co., Tn this 
afternoon at dusk.  We did not see or hear any American Woodcocks.  This has 
been a reliable place for some years.  The Bristol Bird Club has a field trip 
to here to look and listen for woodcocks on March 4, starting at 5 p.m.  Rick 
and I saw a flock of a dozen or so blackbirds go down in the bog just before 
dark.  We saw no red color in the wings and several were very dark and a few 
lighter.   We tried to find and flush them but they held tight and we did not 
get another look.

Let's go birding......
