For weeks, I have looked forward to attending the 'Timberdoodle Tumble' presentation at Beaver Creek Reserve. Here's how the event is described in their newsletter:Join a Reserve naturalist to enjoy the spectacular courtship performance of the American Woodcock. After a short presentation at the Nature Center, we will visit a nearby singing grounds to observe the bird who, in Aldo Leopold’s words, “flutters skyward in a series of wide spirals, emitting a musical twitter...then, without warning, tumbles like a crippled plane, giving voice in a soft liquid warble that a March bluebird might envy.”
But the weather is so crummy, they rescheduled the event for next Wednesday. We're getting blasted with a wintry mix of snow and rain and ice. Great night to stay home.
