Two nights ago (22 March 2011), as I departed the Lab of Ornithology around 7:45 pm, I heard peenting and then displaying from an American Woodcock. I believe that the bird was peenting from the grassy hill immediately north of the building, and then was displaying in the general area of the Fuller Wetlands. Although I have seen woodcock at Sapsucker Woods before, I think this is the first time that I've heard one skydancing here.
