Philoohela minor. Bethel, Maine. 1904 October 18 At evening as twilight was falling Dr.Gehring heard Woodcock rising and flying from place to place in the birch woods below the house. One of them alighted in the opening in front of the Shack and ran and flitted from place to place along the margin of the little pond. Dr.G. saw it repeatedly jerk up and spread its tail while thus moving about. Presently another bird came flying to the pond and the first removed to the lower spring where it uttered the paap call a number of times. The second bird was seen to answer this call once. It behaved much like the first but did not jerk up nor spread its tail while Dr.G. was watching it. He thinks he heard at least five or six different birds rise from this cover to-night. (I heard one there the following evening).
