Last evening, I stepped out for a walk and heard the familiar "peeent" 
coming from the same place in a tiny clearing on old pastureland, where 
it calls from each spring.  It's back...

It's nice that some things don't change.

I smiled.  Spring and nature.

Our woods has lots of muddy and poorly drained areas for foraging, and 
open spots for courtship.

I've always wanted to see the courtship display but never have:

I have seen them do this 'dance move' (really a foraging movement).  It 
is more entertaining than courtship, though I love the idea that the 
male 'dances' and performs nuptial flights for the female.  That should 
be a rule!

The next video was a surprise (never knew it existed), from Kejimkujik:

If ever people complain of the slow speed limit (20 km) on that narrow 
dirt road, we could show this video.

Enjoy!
