Six birders met despite the threatening sky’s in the hopes
of seeing American Woodcocks displaying.
To reduce the amount of background noise we birded at
Passanegeset, aka Broad Meadows in Quincy, instead of the traditional spot at
Squantum Point Park. Both locations reliably have good numbers of Woodcock displaying
at this time of the year.
Just as it got dark, the sky’s opened and we had a short
downpour. By the time we were back at the cars, the rain stopped and soon after
the Woodcocks started “peenting”. Unfortunately they only allowed us very short
glimpses, but woodcocks were heard by all. We soon adjourned to a nearby diner
and had a good meal in great company
