	The American Woodcock, or Bogsucker
		There is a kind of innocent simplicity in our Woodcock, which has often excited in me a deep feeling of anxiety, when I witnessed the rude and unmerciful attempts of mischievous boys, on meeting a mother bird in vain attempting to preserve her dear brood from their savage grasp.
		It is that the Woodcock, although a prober of the mire, frequently alights in the interior of extensive forests, where little moisture can be seen, for the purpose of turning up the dead leaves with its bill, in search of food beneath them, in the manner of the Passenger Pigeon, various Grakles, and other birds.
		On observing the Woodcock while in the act of emitting these notes, you would imagine he exerted himself to the utmost to produce them, its head and bill being inclined towards the ground, and a strong forward movement of the body taking place at the moment the kwauk reaches your ear.

	The Short Eared Owl, BirdCheck.co.uk
		Primaries, very broad, yellowish salmon-colour, barred with dark brown, greyish and speckled towards the tips, white at the base of the outer webs: the second is the longest, the third nearly as long, the fourth a little shorter than the first; some of the quills are strongly serrated on the outer edge.
		The two or three first have one or two dusky bars, the next two or three, and the rest two, three, or four, on the outer webs; and all have one irregular bar, or part of one, on the inner—the bars are only on the outer half of the quills.
		Secondaries also broad, dusky buff, spotted with dull white, forming irregular bars; tertiaries, dusky buff; larger and lesser under wing coverts, as the wings; underneath, the feathers are edged with brown, with a few brown spots.

	American Woodcock
		We almost immediately saw the woodcock on the lawn adjacent to the third house from the northeast corner of the housing complex, exactly where Michael Patten had reported it.
		It was very wide and plump, with a very short tail, very long thick bill, very wide relatively massive head with its large eyes located far apart on the side of the head and nearer the top of the head.
		This is the first apparently wild American Woodcock found in California although this species was released as a potential game species by the California Department of Fish and Game in the early 1970’s.

	Organic Valley \| Down Nature's Trail
		The willow buds are swelling, as well as those of the maples, and it won't be long before the ground too turns from beige-brown to green.
		Satisfied that he had caught the attention of any lady woodcock in the area, he descended with a flutter and twitter to his special place on the ground.
		Like the courting of the woodcock, the plant was on schedule to start again the circle of life.

	Humans have special bond with dogs
		Dusky belongs to Bob, a friend of mine and fellow hunter - or I could say, Bob belongs to Dusky.
		Their two children have grown up and left home, so Dusky is treated much like a child of their own.
		When Dusky was just three months old, Bob began teaching her to retrieve sticks.

	Ringing summary - 2004
		A Pied Flycatcher in August, and a Woodcock in October were notable captures, but no rarities were even seen.
		The scrub in particular was very good for warblers such as Blackcap and Whitethroat, and the wooded area produced many Chiffchaffs plus the Dusky Warbler which was trapped during a brief departure from its favoured feeding-ground on the cliffs.
		Conditional permission was obtained to ring Kittiwake chicks in part of the colony on the "wall" and a small additional number was ringed in the overflow colony on Claremont Pier, making 21 altogether.

		Although it is classified as a shorebird, the woodcock is physically and behaviorally adapted to young forested habitat.
		The chicks are able to leave the nest soon after hatching (precocial), can fly short distances at two weeks, and are almost fully grown by four weeks.
		Some nearby nature centers are offering woodcock evening events this season or you can call CWH and staff will give you ideas on where and when to look.

	Birds - Willet
		Closely related to the last genus, but distinguished by having the inner and middle, as well as the middle and outer, toes webbed, is the genus Catoptrophorus, including only the monotypic North American Willet (C. semipalmatus), which is so called from its continuously repeated Alarm cry of pilly-will-willet, pilly-will-willet.
		They are large birds, from fifteen to seventeen inches long, brownish gray barred with dusky above and white below, the fore neck streaked, and the breast and sides heavily barred or spotted with dusky; there is also a conspicuous white wing patch.
		In the winter plumage the upper parts are unmarked brownish gray and the lower parts immaculate white.

	Long-eared Owl (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		To Leslie Glasgow and his woodcock banders we are indebted for the information that Long-eared Owls hunt over the open fields at night.
		Moreover, the exceptionally long "ear" tufts are situated closer together, near the center of the head.
		It is about the size of a Short-eared Owl, but that species is predominantly buffy in color, instead of dusky and gray with only a smattering of buffy.

	Birds - Curlews And Whimbrels
		The Hudsonian Curlew (N. hudsonicus) is smaller, being only seventeen or eighteen inches long, and may be known by the dusky brown wings and the crown with two broad, lateral stripes of brownish dusky, enclosing a narrower middle stripe of huffy.
		This species is also found over the whole of North America, but breeds only in the Arctic regions, and winters from the Gulf States to the southern extremity of South America.
		It is similar in coloration to the last, but has the crown streaked with dusky and lacks the lighter median stripe.
