Just before midnight I stepped outside my front door and was surprised to hear the display flight twitter and chirps of a Woodcock and then a minute later Peent-Peent.
So exciting and the easiest First of Year Woodcock I've ever found. There was another woodcock in a neighboring field also doing a display flight. This is not even a moonlit night. I was outside at 9pm and 10:30pm and they were no sounds of WOODCOCK then. I brought my dachshund outside to hear them because she has a bigger Year List than I do! (She had a Glaucous Gull and some others I'm missing). This was happening on Lower Creek Road. They weren't the only birds awake. Also a SCREECH OWL, AMERICAN ROBIN, and a flying flock of CANADA GEESE.
