The warmly-hued little Woodcock has long been a great favorite among
our game birds. His range covers eastern North America and he is
most frequently found in damp coverts or open upland woods. He nests
on the ground-but it takes a keen observer to locate it so well does it
merge with the natural cover. The Woodcock is particularly fond of
angleworms and his southward flight is largely governed by frosts which
make this staple food no longer available. The whistling flight is swift-
but rarely of a prolonged nature. During the mating season, the male
Woodcock emits a repeated nasal "peent" spirals up swiftly in short
courting flights and descends again to strut proudly around the hen.
