Welcome to the Ruffed Grouse Society’s National American Woodcock Migration Mapping System. In partnership with Waterfowler.com, the online authority in waterfowl migration tracking, RGS started providing real-time tracking of the annual American woodcock migration in 2006 -- for the first time in history. It has continued each year since. The advanced GIS mapping system relies on daily migration data provided by our members and online readers. Simply click on the link that follows, enter the zip-code for the area you're reporting on, then select if the woodcock activity in that area is Light, Medium, Heavy, or at its Peak.

The map is a real-time summary of daily (24-hour) entries which reset each midnight, so we encourage our visitors to report each day they see activity. To view prior 24-hour period historical maps, click the Historical Maps and Summaries link.

To submit a report on current woodcock activity levels, click here. The map updates every 15 minutes. After that time, refresh your browser to see your report represented by a colored dot showing the activity level.
