  1. @beaknik_poetry great photography of the #Eurasian #Woodcock, showing how perfectly it is #camouflaged with its environment.

  2. We had another new visitor in the garden early this morning! I've seen these when I volunteered at Wild Bird Fund in NYC but never in the wild. I just learned that they sometimes venture into gardens when it is very cold and the ground is too frozen for them to dig for bugs. They figured out that garden soil is often a little softer. So amazing 🤩

  3. The #woodcock is an independent creature with complex behavior and a demanding habitat. It serves as an indicator of how serious we are about near-natural, moist forests and whether we are prepared to adapt our actions to scientific findings and minimum ethical standards. A hunting practice that kills millions of these birds annually, despite experts urging greater restraint, is simply incompatible with modern environmental and #animalwelfare ethics.

  4. Two Michelin stars,18 GaultMillau points,menus costing over 300 Swiss francs.And what ends up on the plate? Endangered wild #birds.
    #Woodcock. #Rockptarmigan. Animals on the #RedList.Welcome to the world of "haute cuisine,":artfully arranged animal carcasses,garnished with ignorance.
    While species are disappearing,endangered birds are being roasted in expensive sauce.While scientists fight for #biodiversity, luxury restaurants continue to play God over life and death

  5. American Woodcock Shine, or Rock'n'Peent

    video description: a brown mottled bird at first facing away from the camera making a "peent" noise when there's a break in the music, rotating a bit, scratching the base of its long beak, repeat, until at the last "peent" it's facing the camera. Video fades to grayscale when lyrics start.

  6. Typisch Künstler! Monty hat einen sehr diversen Freundeskreis: Diese Waldschnepfe saß heute vor Monty's Atelier und versuchte durch seine Katzenklappe zu kommen, was aber glücklicherweise nicht geklappt hat.

  7. Direct evidence of 'itinerant breeding' in East Coast #shorebird species phys.org/news/2024-04-team-evi paper: royalsocietypublishing.org/doi

    "Migration and reproduction are two of the most demanding events in a #bird's annual cycle, so much so that the vast majority of them separate the two tasks into different times of the year. But a study... has found direct evidence of a species, the American #woodcock, that overlaps periods of migration and reproduction, a rare breeding strategy"

  8. Aerodactylus scolopaciceps (named after the #Pokémon #Aerodactyl) is usually known as #Pterodactylus, as they are almost indistinguishable. But there are some subtleties in the ratios of #bone measurements that separate the two into different genera (Vidovic and Martill 2014).

    Fun Fact: The specific name, scolopaciceps, refers to the snout looking superficially like the Eurasian #Woodcock (Scolopax rusticola).

  9. @loren *peent*

    sorry for the poor quality low light video, but oh you don’t know how excited I was when I heard this! and spotted the woodcock!! This bird flew by me. First time I *saw* an American #woodcock #preent!!!

  10. An American woodcock (timberdoodle) in Bryant Park from Monday. Timberdoodles (along with red-winged blackbirds, kinglets, and common grackles) are some of the earliest birds in the spring migration here in NYC.
