We put up at least 6 woodcock this afternoon in London. Those were the ones I saw, the dogs may have put up more in the woods. It�s about 7-10 days earlier than I normally see them around here. Anyone else seeing them?

There's no open ground around here (GTA north), they'll starve if they come here now.
May be we'll see them after a couple of the forecasted warm and sunny days next week.
Moved a few last week east of london. but we got hit by snow storm over the weekend. Snow melting good now. ground is open and wet. didn't put any up yesterday near ingersoll. I think the next few days should be good. Here is a pic from last week. [ATTACH=CONFIG]43402
Looking good there. Hoping to make a run Friday
This evening I was watching the hundreds of geese, swans, ducks and cranes coming to roost in a pond behind my home. At dusk I heard a woodcock peenting and then performing its mating flight. In the next couple of weeks I will hear up to 6 birds every evening from my backyard.
Got the dogs out for a run today. Close to home running the 407 corridor. With developement not much left that resembles woodcock habitat but I guess when migrating any port in the storm. Found about a dozen birds staged in the remaining shurbery. Spring has sprug go forth and propigate.
Glad you had a good day. :)
We were out shed hunting in Markham, and our dog put a few timberdoodles up. It was nice to see as I haven’t encountered many before
Think they just moved in, line moving northeast by the dayQuote:
