Sky Dance of the Woodcock
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.
The Woodcock
It’s 1920s England, and the coastal town of Gravely is finally enjoying a fragile peace after the Great War. Jon Lowell, a naturalist who writes articles on the flora and fauna of the shoreline, and his wife Harriet lead a simple life, basking in their love for each other and enjoying the company of Jon’s visiting old school friend David.

As secrets multiply, Harriet, Jon and David must each ask themselves, what price is to be paid for pleasure?

Not illustrated. 1903 edition. Excerpt: ... cookery The woodcock has as warm a welcome on the table as in the coverts, which is saying a great deal, nor is the snipe much less appreciated. But the woodcock is the more valued for his comparative rarity. You may be satiated with partridges or pheasants--even with grouse in August and September--but the woodcocks come in capricious flights, and, when there is open weather in the far north, may provokingly defer their arrival. They are essentially birds of passage, ...
