Flushed one today, Windsor area
I moved a couple on Pelee isl.
Where do you normally find woodcock? In a hardwood forest? At the treeline of a field?
I've done a lot of hiking and not sure if I've ever come across them. I've come across some grouse in algonquin a few times. Scared the bejeebus out of me when they flushed lol wasn't expecting them.

damp/wet ground , thick cover or young aspen growth has worked for me.
Thick damp spots that you might also find cottontail, thick with young trees such as sumac, ferns, somewhat clean forest floor so they can walk.
So in all likelihood if you're walking a beaten path you're not likely to flush many?

Yup. They'll be off the beaten path. Tangled hardwood thickets adjacent to old fields, with leaf litter on the ground and damp soil.
Most people have never seen one.
and I was hoping to see more reports... :( there're threads on habitat, incl. pics, use search.
I welcome any conversation
Found a bunch of them today all but 3 still there.
