Charles and Bob can’t wait to get out in the field in early spring to check out the woodcock sky dance. This is one crazy bird. It is a shorebird that lives in the forest and is nicknamed the timberdoodle. The woodcock sound clip is thanks to Karen Hogan via the Macaulay Library at Cornell Lab of Ornithology. Thanks to Christina Zorn for providing background research.
