Observation details

Small bird with long bill. Pale orange underbelly visible. Sorry for poor photos. Seen on private property, common backyards on west side of development. When parking car on way home from gym we saw an oddly shaped bird in the headlights. Bird was foraging on damp lawn and jumped up to flutter its wings a few times. Immediately American Woodcock sprang to mind because of the outline. Went inside to get binoculars. When I returned bird was still foraging deeper into common backyards. Camouflages very well in the dark. After following bird for approximately 15 min, it flew off to the southwest. Distinctive twittering call on takeoff. Heard a peent call from the southwest a few minutes later. Unable to relocate bird. Video Links: https://youtu.be/iU9UNIAgv_M https://youtu.be/ZGKMsHAHxcw
