Re: [Maine-birds] Woodcock?...W Farmington?

By my recollection, woodcocks start sneaking back around mid March. For
fun (and without causing undue disturbance) look around the edges of wet
seeps - anyplace the snow has melted enough to leave a wet dirt patch.
It's comical to watch their attempts at concealment when they are walking
around on snow. If they are really stressed, don't be surprised to see
them around the foundations of homes and garages, wherever dripping roof
water has left a soft patch of earth.
