I was out grilling steaks at about 6:45 tonight(dusk) and a woodcock flew
onto and landed on my deck about 15 feet from the grill. It stayed about
five minutes and then blasted off into the evening. I usually see a couple of
woodcock here each fall( I have an 8 acre lake in my front yard and
mitigated wetlands in the back of the property), but never on the deck. I also
saw
several Palm warblers around the same time. Dave White Zion Crossroads
