My first birding trip !
Had a wonderful time with the Strafford Rivers Conservancy Group while looking for the American Woodcock in a field in Rollinsford, NH. Upon arrival we got an introduction to the bird - what to watch and listen for when we headed into the field. We watched coyotes run through the field and watched the stars come out overhead. Then we observed the Woodcocks as they came out of the forest edges into the field then take off and land around us. I had a terrific time !!

Small brownish bird with long bill. Came out at dusk for about 45 min. We could hear him going zeep zeep in the forest edge and then watched him fly up into the sky out of sight, only to land back in the field.
