Woodcocks have returned


I thought I was hearing woodcocks last week in the twilight as I got home, and then Friday evening while walking to the Kingsbury Club I saw one clearly against the sky as it flew up off the ground when I flushed it by walking nearby. A sure sign of spring in my neighborhood, and one that probably took me a couple of Yeats to figure out what I was seeing as I witnessed their mating flights and listened to their calls in the spring twilight as I walked my golden.
