At least two woodcocks were peenting about an hour ago over the marsh along
Landon Road at its intersection with Route 79.

After reading the description of Woodcock lek habitat (am I using the
term correctly??), it occurred to me that they might be present in the
field next to and behind my house so I stomped out through my marshy
backyard and through the little woodlot to the edge. Sure enough, I
heard peenting!

conditions shouldn't stop them. After all, the display is a show of fitness.
But wind might well make it harder for you to hear and observe them.

directly correlated to the reduction in sea ice in the
Hi Bob
I'm pretty sure I saw a Woodcock out the back of my house on Cosmos Hill west
of Homer at about 6pm last night (Thursday 4th). I was walking in an area
between a field and scrub, and it just shot up in from of me.
