[Mnbird] Wood Cock and Other Spring Birds

[Cherise Robb]

Hello, birders,

 

For the past several nights I have been hearing the call of a wood cock
which I first misidentified as a nighthawk. But the last two nights I heard
the unmistakable wing and flight sounds and realized it was an American wood
cock. I checked out the calls on the Cornell Labs website and I was right.
The bird is located at 500 Heritage Court in Waite Park on the back side of
the apartment building where there are some woods and wetlands.

Also I have heard lots of tree sparrows and several song sparrows as well as
red-winged blackbirds and a few robins. Spring is definitely here!

 

Cherise Robb, Waite Park.
