At 6:30 pm, I quickly checked the Wilder boat access area, where there 
is now considerable open water.  At the north end of Huntley Meadows, 
off Beaver Meadow Rd in Norwich, 2 Am. Woodcock were peenting at 7:20 
pm.  They flew off at 7:25, perhaps seeking more open terrain, so no 
courtship flights followed.  I've had at least one male here 
consistently in recent years, so it is a reliable spot to witness displays.
