Life Bird #457

This evening, Robert and I stood around in the cold for an hour but were rewarded by seeing (and hearing) 3 American Woodcocks displaying in flight. (He had seen a report on the Forsyth county bird list that woodcocks were being seen in this park near my apartment.) These days, I have no expectation of seeing life birds without either chasing rarities or going to a new geographical region (Robert suggested Costa Rica about the time my toes started freezing). So, Happy Valentine's Day to us!
