This is a little belated but perhaps they're still there. On 3/7, I went
to BWI to pick up Jane on her return from a family visit to ND. I
arrived a little early and instead of parking in the cell phone lot, I
thought I'd look around for Woodcocks. The first place I tried was off
of 170 at Stoney Run Rd. There's a loop where Stoney Run circles toward
the aiport then over 170. There were several Woodcock displaying within
this circle. I was surprised that I could even hear them with the jets
flying overhead and traffic whizzing by.

I tried over near the Amtrak/MARC station which seemed like more
extensive habitat but didn't hear anything. BTW, BWI is just barely into
Anne Arundel county from Howard county.
