American Woodcocks?
I walk Saffy each night (that I'm at home) and in recent months we've seen though mostly heard some strange birds. Saffy gets pretty wound up about them. They make a high pitch noise and swoop into the air when disturbed but mostle hide in the grass and run accross and around in the road very quickly. I think I've worked out what they are: http://www.houstonaudubon.org/index.c
I've found some old wood in our area, just sorta abandoned. I've also found that there's loads of web site with plans to build bird houses. I'm going to see what in an area like ours might want a home, and see what sort of designs they'd need. Turns out birds can be really picky about where they nest. I don't really want to spend $30 or more on something I can make myself and that might not be used for a for a few years. Thinking I'll ask Nick or Mr Sides for help conserning tools.
