We are pleased to announce the winner of last week's Monday Nature Mystery, Michael Gregory! Please email us your snail mail address and preference for a hat or tote bag to: [email protected]

Congratulations to Michael for correctly identifying the peenting call of American Woodcock (Scolopax minor). We couldn’t agree more with our friends at All About Birds who describe the male courting display as, “…one of the magical natural sights of springtime in the East.”
