Florida · MigratoryAmerican woodcock

Florida sits near the southern edge of woodcock's winter range, and FWC's own hunting-guide content gives a direct regional claim: "during the colder months, woodcock occur in all parts of the state, but better concentrations of birds are more common in central and north Florida," arriving in flights after cold fronts pass through. Independent sourcing corroborates this with more specific range language -- "primarily found in northern and central Florida... less common in the extreme south" -- and national wintering-range literature places northern Florida at the southernmost edge of the species' regular winter distribution, with the true concentration further west along the Gulf Coast (Louisiana/Mississippi). This is a real, FWC-sourced density gradient within the state, not a hunting-zone or access-program artifact.
