The first call of an American Woodcock for 2012, heard at 7:05am in the wet scrub field across from my house in SE Clermont County. This is the earliest I have ever had woodcocks here, and I am thrilled to hear one, after a disappointing season last year. I am a little bummed that I didn't get one for my January list, but I'm still pretty excited. ~Kathi Hutton Clermont County ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
