American Woodcock in-flight display with winnow and 'lipsmack'
Observation details
Lifer!! An excellent display from one male starting at 6:11pm (sunset at 5:50). After about 3 rounds of 'Peenting' and flight displays a second male entered and aggressively called to the first male. After another round of display from first male the second male flew straight at him, vocalizing aggressively and chased the first male high into the sky and away - they flew very close together and often seemed to collide. The first male never returned, while the second returned about 30 seconds later and remained silent. This amazing altercation ended the displays (6:33pm).
