Hi all,
I saw TWO Woodcocks here in Utopia recently, and a got a great
description of two displaying a few miles northwest of town in Bandera
Co., also in January. One of those two landed on a deer blind mere
feet from observer while another continued displaying.
So that is four at least and I wouldn't be surprised if it were the
tip of the iceberg considering coverage and effort at the right
times/places.
