> 5:30AM, I went out to top off my bird feeders, when I stepped out I heard this loud nasally beep so I whipped around and grabbed the flashlight and camera. Got as far as the bottom step and startled a woodcock. However, I could still hear twittering sounds coming from the edge of the woods. Would that also be a woodcock? Or would it maybe be a snipe? I know it wasn't the same woodcock, as it flew in the opposite direction.

* Woodcock twitter, Snipe "winnow" with a woo-woo-woo sound that occurs 
in bursts rather than continuously. I'm sure there's recordings online 
you could listen to to learn the difference.
