shovel leaner 7,648 Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 I used to shoot a small farm years ago , and when the ground was frozen or we had snow , there was a ditch there which always held a good few woodcock . I always thought it might be because they could still push their beaks in the ground and feed , they are a wader , and feed by probing in ditches and stream edges and leaf mold . my guess is that the birds you saw have been here a while and have worked out a good place to feed .
