I almost never see woodcock up here. At best one or two a year. Not sure why but they simply aren't common here.
Slowly starting to accumulate a few birds in the larder now. You can see back into the cover when walking and the bugs are almost gone. I did hear some crickets singing along the trail yesterday afternoon, but that can't last much longer (getting cold at night here). The mosquitos and gnats seem to have almost disappeared (compared to how they were even a few days ago).
It's been a struggle to get my legs back under me this year (and then deal with all the greenery, heat, and bugs) but things are clealy looking up. Shooting sporting clays regularly last year seems to be paying in spades when a bird flushes now, even when I'm not at full-alert.
Shining times here!
