American Woodcock |
 |
|
The American Woodcock is a little birdie around robin-sized. They are instantly identifiable by the dance they constantly do. The body bobs up and down, but the head remains stationary. They bob 2-3 times for each step they take. high-res

|
It is thought the bobbing may be to stir up the worms below, so they can be heard. high-res

|
The long long beak is used to hunt by sound. They stick it into the ground, and worm sounds are transmitted up the beak to the ears. high-res |
