Hello, I wanted to thank everyone that emailed to correct me on my nighthawk/woodcock confusion. Being a young birder of only a few years I've only catalogued the typical sounds for each species in my brain and I guess when I didn't hear the other display sounds that I associate with the woodcock I jumped the gun to nighthawk, even though it seemed strangely early. Many of you offered some great tips on how to tell the two apart during the mating season and I really appreciate all your advice. Next time I'll double check my song mp3's before spreading rumours across the province!
