I just wanted to thank everyone that has posted updates on the Woodcock at Bobcat Ridge Natural Area. After a couple of hectic months spent watching the updates and wishing I had the time to make the trip north to look for this bird, I finally made the time today. I searched for about 2.5 hours looking down into the creek by the road until after sunset. I was heading back to my car feeling pretty low when my fiance (who only came along to keep me company and had been bored silly for about 2.4 of the 2.5 hours at this point) observed there is a marshy area running alongside the parking lot, and suggested we walk that quickly just in case. Lo and behold! There was the woodcock, maybe 20 feet from my car. I got decent pictures despite the failing light, and was just so thrilled to have found this bird! Thank you again to everyone that has continued to report on its presence. Here's a link to my ebird checklist:
