Thank you for the IDs, Mark -- especially the American Woodcock. As
soon as I saw your response I connected the sound of their wings in
flight from past encounters with those little critters. But I think
this was the first time I ever heard the "hiccup-PEEENT ground call."
That's what had me stumped. Thanks again!

PS: Sorry about the slow downloads. I know it's a pain. Last time my
bride and I moved, we went from 2 years with high-speed cable back to
dial-up. Ouch! Thankfully we have high-speed cable again.
