American Woodcock

[David Martin <>]

Hello all --

Recording Woodcock is one of my goals for early spring this year, and last=

weekend I managed to get close.  What made me happiest was the fact that I=

got the tuko call and the flight in addition to the peent.  The tuko is a
very quiet, two-syllable call heard on the breeding ground.  It's only
audible a few meters from the bird.  If you listen to my clip, be aware
that the peent is about 27 dB louder than the tuko.

Here's the link to the tuko and peent.

Here's the link to the flight sounds.

Only a couple of  calls to go before I have the bird's repertoire.
