Certainly the weather, but also as with so many other things in nature, the diminishing daylight plays a significant role in woodcock migrations.

Woodcock in my covers when flushed usually tower to 20-30 feet in height but it usually depends on the cover and the kinds of trees and bushes there. And of course, some do stay low and fly like that escape artist the grouse.
