The timing (season) and habitat are right for early returning (male?)
woodcocks, I think, although more usually the earliest reports are later in
March.  

 

For those who don't know, Wyman Road is in Yarmouth or near there, I think,
for John's report.  

 

Cheers from Jim, in Wolfville.

Possible.  Pretty dark-looking, but against sunlit snow, most colours are
dark!

There's a line of youngish spruce trees about 30 feet to the north of our
house on Wyman Road.  About 11 A.M., my gaze fell on a dark,
jay-to-flicker-sized bird shape on the ground on the sunlit (yup!) snow in
front of the trees.  The bird turned its head and showed a very long bill.
Then it flipped under the spruces, never to be seen again.

 

Didn't have much tail.

 

Can't think of anything else it could have been, other than a woodcock.
