Evening Folks: In spite of the persistent, considerable snow cover, there were Am Woodcocks peenting and displaying at 8:00pm this evening. The display flights were few probably due to the cold. But, a sign of spring none the less... Directions: The woodcocks were on the south west quadrant of the intersection of 83 highway and Ausable Line. This intersection is 2 concessions west of Exeter on 83 highway. Exeter is approximately 50 KMs north of London. The property is posted No Hunting and No Trespassing and the land owner is adamant about not having anyone on the property. So please respect their wishes and view this engaging rite of spring from the roadside. Good Birding Rick Thornton Exeter, ON
