Abstract:

The coastal plain of North and South Carolina is the primary wintering range for woodcocks in the Eastern Flyway. This bird has a long bill which is ideal for probing in the dirt for food, and its mottled brown color provides a good camouflage against predators. The woodcock's preference for dense cover habitats makes it a challenging bird to hunt.
