On January 27th, 2026, I saw one American Woodcock foraging on the side of the road near Shaws Mill Pond, Cumberland County NJ. The surrounding forest was covered in ice-capped snow, and it was tapping for earth worms in a small strip of bare dirt created by a snow plow. It did this for quite a while, and even after it noticed me and flew off it went right back to foraging on the side of the road again. Not busy road at all.
