Woodcock Back Friday

.
Only had to wait five seconds tonight to hear the American Woodcock at the blueberry patch in my neighborhood.  Year Bird #67.

Not that it matters but on Thursday I had Eastern Meadowlark #92 and Killdeer #93 at the wastewater.

You must be doing a big year :) I'll beat you to #100.

(KILL was overdue. I had it 1 month ago. I want EAME)

Ok Zac, what is your number? Remember no cutting class to go birding! :-)
I found the EAME in field #25 on the WW. That is on White Rd. almost to Moorland. By now the EAME should be all over the WW.

Zach, it's not a Big Year but four of us always "race" to see who gets the most species each year in Michigan. My customary finish is fourth (fifth counting you) so I'll repeat what Charlie said: "Not that it matters." ;-)

I saw a single meadowlark on Friday at the intersection of Swanson and Laketon. Had 3 wood ducks in Black Creek behind our house yesterday.

I've been following this blog long enough to realize you guys have fun with numbers. I'm at 85 for year, soon to get 6-7 more at Lautenbach's spot on Swanson, and may pull a UP-overnighter for the fun of it to pick up a few of those birds. Frankly, that would put me at 100, guys, without skipping class, or skipping studying for class...

Spring break is just around the corner.
