Thanks Marie!
Funny about the woodcock. Last night, as I lay in bed, I heard the
wing-feathers whistling of a woodcock right outside the window. No “peanuts”,
no sky display with chirps. Just a woodcock on the move. We had as many as 5
woodcocks in our fields this spring, and I often hear them
Our group went to Dodge Road, where the woodcocks started later than when I
scouted, but with enough light to be easily seen. After a few skydances,
those with muck boots and binoculars took a few steps into the muddy field
where I was able to get my spotlight on the bird on the ground.

Nancy Dickinson, when she lived a bit further down the hill in Mecklenburg,
regularly got the first of year Woodcock in February.

Wow! The 31 year norm here, just about 2 miles and a bit higher than
you, is 3/18 and the earliest was 3/8. Congrats Ken.

There was just an alert on Facebook that Woodcocks are really suffering due
to the snowstorm as they have migrated in only to find no ground and no
earthworms available. I hope that your stream may have some open muddy
areas along the edge.

The Lindsay-Parsons Preserve has long been a good place for viewing Woodcock
displays. Just park in the lot, walk down the trail into the ravine, cross the
little bridge and continue up and out into the big fields. Head for the knoll
with the Leopold bench: you can see a huge expanse of sky from
I have seen them on Thanks Giving Holidays! I think Sue also reported some
during that period a couple of year ago.

I also heard a woodcock in the wind tonight, both wing-flight and ground call.
This is a month earlier than my personal notes show over the last 13 years for
where I live.

I read your report with interest. I believe that Wolf Island is the
site of some 85 major wind turbines, now in operation. I am wondering
how their presence affects the woodcocks' "sky dance". And I also
wonder how the winter Short-eared Owl population is faring.

Sadly, those last big, original woods along Warren Rd. in the Northwoods area
(near Ithaca airport) is up for sale, so more habitat will be lost for the
Woodcock and other critters.

You're not likely to destroy any Woodcock nests by cutting hay. The
nests would not be out in the fields, but someplace in nearby woods
(open aspen stands are favored). The young are precocious, and Mom
can shepherd them far from the nest area soon after they hatch.
Here's a link to an Auk
On the hayfields I help manage, we have both young turkeys and ruffed grouse
in the tall grass. It's good cover and also provides a lot more bugs than
the stubble after cutting. We put off cutting until the end of June, but I
personally would prefer the middle of July.
