they nest very early Lois
I once saw chicks the first day of may many years ago.
They are hardier than they look.
Thanks for the good report

I happened to open the back door tonight at 8 p.m., and heard a sound which=
 at first registered as 'Nighthawk'(???), then I realized that it must be a=

 some bare ground from which our neighbour had shovelled snow.=A0 We identi=
fied it by sound, not by sight.=A0 Hope he found some worms and will return=
!=A0 A new yard bird!

Reminds me of the first Am. Woodcock we ever saw, waddling through the deep=
 snow in late winter or early spring towards our door when we lived in Nort=
hern N.B. years ago.=A0 Had no idea what it was at the time, but it is a pi=
cture I will never forget.
