Yep, as Gary mentioned they run, I noticed that also about 15 yrs ago.
Most of the birds I flushed recently stay low to the ground, I avoid those shots for fear of the dogs. I had on last year sit in the crotch of a tree about 10 feet off the ground watching the dog on point.
I have found Woodcock in mature spruce forests, dry uplands, many different areas than one would expect. Harvested potato fields are popular night resting areas.
