Nightbirdies


Last night we were out watching basketball, and I spotted something walking around the garden by the driveway. Usually that means an opposum, skunk, or sometimes fox. Last night it was a stocky little bird with long legs and a long beak. He was active and funky looking! After combing the internet, I think this may be the bird. Mike tried to take a picture of it, and if you click on the picture, he is in the front towards the right side (he blends in). Unfortunately we could not get the beak in the shot and Mike was worried he stressed him out so he did not try again.


The American Woodcock is what he is called. I will put a link on the next page.
