Charles and Bob can’t wait to get out in the field in early spring to check out the woodcock sky dance. This is one crazy bird. It is a shorebird that lives in the forest and is nicknamed the timberdoodle. The woodcock sound clip is thanks to Karen Hogan via the <a href="https://www.macaulaylibrary.org/" target="_blank" rel= "noreferrer noopener">Macaulay Library at Cornell Lab of Ornithology</a>.
