by Greg Hoch
Part of the Bur Oak Book series
Paperback / softback
Description
Woodcock are one of the oddest birds in North America.
They are a shorebird that got lost and ended up in the scrubby parts of the forest, and look like they were put together with the leftover parts of other birds.
Oddities aside, each spring they rise to great beauty with their sky dance at dusk. Greg Hoch combines natural history, land management, scientific knowledge, and personal observation to examine this little game bird.
Woodcock have a complex life history and the management of their habitat is also complex.
The health of this bird can be considered a key indicator of what good forests look like.
