Media notes
Playback was used when I doubled back to make sure I had an accurate count, PEENTS call. Also Killdeer can be heard.
Observation details
This site area is about to be developed into a marijuana grow center. The habitat will be destroyed. I wanted to get an accurate count of Woodcocks here (Might be the last year for it) so I slowly patrolled the streets. I (very sparingly) used recall a few times just to help with the accuracy of the count. 12 is the highest number I can put with 100% confidence. It is almost definitely low. I doubled back to make sure the birds weren’t moving and getting double counted. Probably closer to 15 or even more. Some of the grasslands extend well behind existing buildings and "Peents" could be heard faintly in the distance behind buildings. A few other birders were there in the beginning where we had 3 calling on the corner of Laborers Way and Ship Canal Parkway. After chilling with them for a bit I went up and down all the streets around the canal carefully tracking them. Below is a map of where I had birds calling. Also have some great audio.
