Last night while walking a dirt road I noticed that the road was covered by millipede type insects,when I rounded a bend in the road and into a bird I was not familiar with.It was beautiful with a large beak and over sized feet.At first I thought I was looking at a Woodcock,but quickly realized that this was something totally different.It was picking off the millipede insects.I watched for quite sometime before ambled off the road and in no great hurry.It never cared that I was there.I sure was grateful for this once in a lifetime encounter with amazing bird!
