The only sounds I can find on the web for the woodcock is the nasally beep call. Guess I'll have to grab a flashlight and do a little search if I hear it tonight. 
Thank you, Fred.

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.
