This evening, between 7 and 8 pm, I had 2, possibly 3, woodcocks in and around the small vernal wetlands at the south end of Cambridge. A single bird flew quietly by me twice, then began its familiar chirping and peenting display calls, both from the ground and air.
Wind was light and out of the west. Snow was falling lightly. This is by far my earliest personal record.
