Twenty seven people gathered on the old road bed near the Sewanee airport last night (28 Feb) to have thier ears and souls tickled by the sweet "peeent" of the love-struck American Woodcock. One male woodcock also treated us to a couple of aerial flight displays. The moon glowed down on it all through cirrus clouds, shining in a halo.
Earlier in the afternoon, the Biol 131 lab found a spotted salamander at the pond at the end of Brakefield Road and one egg mass. The amphibian mating frenzy is very late this year...
