April 20: Waiting for woodcocks at Lily Pond
Kristen Lindquist
At dusk, hoping to catch the woodcock aerial mating display. We hear turkeys gobbling, geese and ducks, peepers, robins, blackbirds, and cardinals, and catch a glimpse of an eagle chasing an osprey, but no woodcocks on this chilly night.
All at once, frogs switch on,
and one by one
Mars, Jupiter, stars appear.
