[TN-Bird] Re: American Woodcocks???

Regarding American Woodcocks in Tennessee.

These birds are in the state most months of the year. I have seen them every 
month from January to July, and also September.
The best time of year to actually see them is while they are doing their 
mating display flights, generally January at least into May. I have seen them 
displaying at least two different years in June at Chota Waterfowl Refuge in 
Monroe County.

I don't know if the ones displaying in winter actually stay in the area and 
breed, or if they are wintering birds preparing to migrate north.
