We did not see the Woodcocks on the ground. They would fly up out of the
tall grass, fly around and then back down in the grass and start peenting
again.

Thanks guys,
The grass was so tall there that I couldn't possibly see how they could
display, except perhaps in the ruts on the periphery of the meadow, which
is
where they apparently were. Is that right? My mistake. I calculated they
more likely would be along the more open new path that leads to the new
water control device. I calculated wrong. Thanks for responding. Maybe
people can get a second chance.

Larry/Tim:
I was at Huntley Meadows on Saturday evening and saw Woodcocks at the first
field to the left (the one with the scrubby pines in the middle). There
were three birds (possibly 4). I arrived at 6:20 (before DST) and they
were already going.

I was at Huntley Meadows last night, and Friday evening as well. The
Woodcocks are in the first field on the left. We (4 of us) watched
several Woodcocks flying, peenting, and chirping as they landed; it
was an impressive show. On Friday (3/7) the activity started at 6:15
PM, last night at 7:15 PM. We watched for 30 minutes before leaving.
We saw the large group of birders, but could not determine where they
went after leaving the large field further up on the right. For those
who want to see and hear the Woodcocks; first field on left, be there
by 7 PM. We estimated 4-6 Woodcocks last night.
