    I have not moved any woodcock yet here in Michigan.  St. Paddy’s day is usually about the first time that I see them around here al though there have been reports of a few being seen.  Ran the dogs on March 4 in some good habitat for about 2 hours, no woodcock but we did move 5 grouse.  Also found one feather pile that were from a grouse that an avian predator probably was responsible for.  Also found two drumming logs with lots of fresh droppings.

    Great time for dog work and scouting!  Banding starts in April and that also make for good dog work.
