Wholesale American Woodcock Greeting Card

Superbly camouflaged against fallen leaves, the brown-speckled American Woodcock walks slowly, using its long bill to search for earthworms. Woodcocks are easiest to find at dusk in early spring, when the male performs a remarkable display flight, or “sky dance.” It’s tricky at first to locate the bird in dim light, so listen for the distinctive, buzzy peent call. He makes a call from the ground before taking off for his spiraling display flights. In the air, he gives musical chirps and makes a twittering sound as air passes through his wingtips.
