Dear Tomm,
    I know this has already been mentioned on c-birds in the past, but if you 
ever go to the Triangle area..., I bet John Gerwin at the Natural Science 
Museum in Raleigh would have taken the Woodcock for either display there or 
for other educational purposes.  I gave him some warblers last year that I 
had had in my freezer for about three months.
