RE: AMERICAN WOODCOCK--EL PASO(Fountain Creek)

[markc...@comcast.net]

 This afternoon, I got a call from Loch Kilpatrick regarding the American Woodcock at Fountain Creek.  I jumped in my vehicle in Green Mountain and arrived in an hour and a half.  I was rewarded with my first Colorado American Woodcock!!  Thanks to Cheryl Teuton for finding this great bird and getting the word out!  Photos of this bird can be seen in the gallery below:
