Woodcock Dancing in the Snow (Video)
(Reposted with music and more info)
The American Woodcock I accidentally flushed during Tuesday morning's snow returned later in the day and put on a show. I shot this from the window — have never seen one from our window overlooking the Celery Farm before.
The video is only 14-15 seconds, so watch away!
I tried to add music, which has since magically appeared. I believe it is called "Hot Swing," by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com).
The woodcock hung around for much of the day. Gotta love that walk (dance?).
