I flushed a woodcock in my yard on Sunday. First here since late
March. The usual pattern here is March/April then September/October.
Typically singles.

They were not very high over our heads. They were not exactly flying together, in a flock. But they were basically flying the same trajectory and close in time to each other. I did see four at once, following close upon each other.
