Woodcock Habitat
What type of habitat are you finding most of your birds? Mine are mainly in long grass with scattered trees or in areas where there is a clump of trees surrounded by unkept farmlands (SW ON). Where are you finding them?

Has too much time on their hands
Wherever there is moist soil with young growth or tall meadow and, most importantly, a clean forest floor underneath they can walk around on.
Having said that, sometime they rest in the oddest places. Yesterday we flushed 2 on our way in, in a high, dry, mature red pine plantation.

Similar to what you said.
But also find them in the grouse woods, often a forest just a tad young for grouse. Aspen, alder or sumac for example.
Also have found they like some cedars mixed in.
Definitely need a walkable floor.
They are a fascinating bird.
