Many a small family farm in Vermont had a sugarbush back in the day.
In some 21st-century sugarbushes, plastic tubing conveys the sap to the sugarhouse.
Indeed, acid rain has long been pointed to as the culprit in the diminished productivity and value of northern Maine and Vermont sugarbush (maple syrup producing trees).
2001, Howard Paap, Northern Land: Life with the Ojibwe http://books.google.com/books?vid=ISBN1878569783&id=E49tv0IUbzwC&pg=PA23&lpg=PA23&ots=NgTARD3OW6&dq=sugarbush+maple&sig=Jd72oibGUPlSUo6EOGJfaOvspgM
The labor I offer in my friends' sugarbush is strenuous, but it brings a welcome fatigue.
Then rough lean-tos and later huts were constructed near the sugarbush to offer some protection to the syrup and the boiler.

shoebill
Part of speech: noun
Morphological type: compound
Etymology: From shoe + bill.
Compound parts: shoe
bill
Inflected forms:
form: shoebills
pos: noun
tags: plural
Senses:
gloss: Balaeniceps rex, a tall wading bird related to the stork, native to tropical African swamps; the sole species of the family Balaenicipitidae.
pos: noun
examples: The Shoebill is distinctive in many aspects of its biology, and is thus, we feel, most appropriately placed in its own family, the Balaenicipitidae (L. Buxton et al. 1978, Kahl 1979a). The fact that we have included it in this book, while excluding the Hamerkop, indicates that we believe the Shoebill to be closer to the storks (Kahl 1967b, 1979c); however the jury remains out as to how close.
Nevertheless, Birdlife International recently classified it as near-globally threatened, and it is classed as CITES Appendix 2, which means that trade in shoebills, or their capture for any harmful activity, is forbidden by international law.
The monstrous and awesome shoebill is possibly the most bizarre bird on the African continent.

Bracing as all this may be to the President, it gives his security and logistical forces the yips.
Golfers may be surprised to learn that the yips, in one form or another, occur in a wide variety of other sports and even in other non-athletic walks of life and work.
Defining precisely why a professional cyclist might lose his touch on descents is as difficult as explaining a golfer's yips or a striker's sudden inability to find the net. It happens rarely, most famously in the early 1990s; the double world champion Gianni Bugno suffered from it and only rediscovered his "flow" after being made to listen to Mozart to calm his nerves.
