While walking the dog this morning, I was somewhat shocked to hear the persistent "peent, peent" of an American Woodcock in the grassy lot next to our yard. As I listened more closely during our walk, the "peents" were always followed by the chittering and twittering of the aerial display. There are several fields and excellent borderline areas around our neighborhood, so that might explain this unexpected visitor. A new yard bird on a chilly February morning!
