The Maine Bird Atlas is a project by the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife, with a goal of documenting the breeding (and wintering) distributions of Maine’s birds. The earliest courtship displays reported from woodcocks was on March 4. Across the state, especially in northern Maine, we had reports of courtship displays taking place well through July. ~ Maine Audubon Staff Naturalist Doug Hitchcox
