This evening in Hanover, despite a somewhat brisk gusty breeze, woodcock display was conducted on its anticipated schedule during a field trip arranged by the Mascoma Chapter of New Hampshire Audubon and the Kendal Bird Club.  Under a hazy moon visible through a largely cloudy sky cover, six of us watched  but mainly listened as a male performed displays including the remarkable flights.  Two male woodcock were detected  at the display field. Other species present included at least one American Robin. which sang for a time before the woodcock show, and a pair of Canada Geese flying past while the skies were still relatively bright.
