My neighbour Dominique LeGrand phoned me Wednesday evening (8 April) to tell me that she was watching an American Woodcock in her backyard. It was actively feeding in a bare patch of ground, barely a metre square, under a spruce tree. I went outside and was able to see it from my yard - it was still active when I checked on it again, about 8:15 p.m. (twilight). This evening I ran into another neighbour, Bridget Thomas, who told me that a couple of nights ago, while walking the dog, she encountered THREE woodcocks between Conrose Field and Quinpool Road, a distance of less than a kilometre. Both these women are good observers, interested in birds and the natural world, and they both remarked that they had never seen one of these birds before, and hadn't known what they were seeing, at first.
