Abstract:

Although the American woodcock is known by at least thirty names, including big-eyed John, bogsucker, and timberdoodle, it remains one of the least known and understood game birds. To a small number of North Carolina hunters, it is one of the most popular game-birds. Amundson discusses the woodcock's history, description, general characteristics, food and breeding habits, management, and natural enemies.
