They're Back! Woodcock Banding, Spring 2011

Hey, Birdhunters--the woodcock are back to northern Michigan! Last night while taking my GSPs Bruno and Bella out to perform their bedtime duties, I heard two woodcock males call out from the aspen stands on our property. That's March 17--the earliest I've ever heard them return to NW Lower Michigan. What joyous music to my ears that was! Stay tuned for new blog posts, photos, and videos of Bruno's woodcock-banding adventures later and throughout this spring!
