I've been watching the weather channel in disbelief.  Some of the places getting snow that's never had it on record !!!!

So far all we've got is rain, besides the flood watches all is good.  I'm tired of shoveling so the rain is a good thing imo.

Side note:  I've noticed the migration back north has started as well.  Just had the dog out and could hear whistling wings coming over the house through the fog.  Got me all jacked up !!!  Think I'm going crow huntin in the rain.

Couldn't agree with ya more Bill...I'm sitting here waiting for my partner so we can drive two hours in this nasty crap to go qualify. I thought he just pulled up but it seems that was lightning during a snowstorm :confused: I don't get it...I thought that was called heat lightning - where's the heat :shrug:

I was really looking forward to Brent's seminar, but I wouldn't want anyone to get hurt trying to get here.  I just came by the WVU-Parkersburg campus at about 4:00 PM and it was still snowing.  The wind has shifted around now blowing from the West and drifting snow across the roads where they had been cleared off an hour before.  It's really nasty out.  I called one hunting buddy of mine to let him know about the cancelled seminar.  His wife told me he was out coyote hunting in this mess. He is still recovering from the flu.   Now that's a dedicated coyote hunter!  I think I'll follow Brents lead and just stay in this evening.  Maybe watch Brents video again.  Hope they can reschedule the seminar.  I know a lot of us were looking forward to it.  Stay Warm.  Stay safe!

 I am worried about the woodcock already nesting here on my place. She had four eggs last time I bumped her.It was a total accident I found her nest. She just happened to put it in the fencerow and the storms we've had the past few weeks have played heck with te fences. We had enough to completely cover her up if she stayed put.  I will check her from a distance in the next few days and see if she made it or lost them. Jimmie

Any news on the woodcock Jimmy ?  If she did loose them, do they lay more than once ?   I'll have to do a search on it.

Post by: HaMeR on March 10, 2008, 05:29:25 PM
Knowing nothing about these birds but realizing they are a couple hours south of me in Kentucky,, Isn't it still about a month early for birds to lay eggs??   :shrug:
Title: Re: This Weather Sucks
Post by: Jimmie in Ky on March 10, 2008, 06:23:39 PM
I haven't checked her yet. And as far as I know it is at about this time they are usually doing their mating rituals. I heard the males in late february when we had some warm day's. I've know there have been as many as three diferent mated pairs here in the past but this is the ifrst time I ever came up on one nesting that I knew of.

If she is still on them , they should hatch in 3 more weeks I think. Jimmie

She was sitting tight and pretty today. She is hard to see with the cover and her natural cammo. Thank goodness for the big black eye of hers. Now we just wait a few weeks and see if they hatch after all tey have been through. Jimmie
