04/10/2023 - LRM-202010.jpg

I took a walk this evening for a chance at getting a shot of the American Woodcocks in the fields. We hear their "peent" calls and the twittering sounds they make while flying and during their mating ritual every evening in early spring. Unfortunately, the shutter speed was way too low and the birds were very fast and unpredictable. It got dark fast and I thought I heard a Sasquatch, so I high-tailed it out of there!

Beware the Sasquatch!

Beautiful evening image. I've been hearing them too at dusk - the American Woodcocks - not a Sasquatch. It's hard to catch even a glimpse of either - never mind a photo. :-)

Sometimes the best things in life are hidden from view!

You missed the birds but got a great sky...V

A nice sky even if you didn't get the birds.

Too bad you couldn't get the birds, but you got a pretty sky all the same.
