It was walking slowly across the gravel road in a strange way. It was wobbling its body back and forth but kept its head perfectly still. Then it would take a ponderous step forward and repeat. It would have taken three minutes or more for it to cross the road at the rate it was going and if I'd had the patience to wait. It was quite tame but when I approached within 30 feet it ran off into the brush. I saw a Woodcock here in central Pennsylvania. It was walking slowly across the gravel road in a strange way.

I may try your suggestion. Hope I can see and/or hear the woodcock again…or some other interesting variety. We have many beautiful shore birds in our city as we are right on Long Island Sound.

First woodcock appeared here March 10, and now there are at least three. Just came in tonight and saw/heard some great displaying.

My wife pulled out a bird book and it took some time to determine what it was. It is snowing and the puddle is freezing up. I wonder how long it will stay if the water freezes up. It is still there sitting in the blowing snow. Today an American Woodcock took up residence in my backyard in a puddle of running water.

It appeared to be in shock and there was some bleeding coming from it's beak. I placed the injured bird in a box and was able to contact a wildlife rehab to take the injured bird in for recovery. The bird did not appear to be gravely injured and for the size, it appeared to be a female. This is the first time I have ever seen one of these birds.
