Yes, that's a cute little woodcock. It's well known for letting people get close and then flying away all of a sudden. I have come upon them many times while walking in the woods. Most Americans have never seen one because they blend in so well with the leaves and are mostly nocturnal.
American Woodcock; nice bird! You saw the long bill, the plump shape, the rocking walk, and heard the twittering wing noise as it took off. It is special to get a good look like that.
