I flushed a Woodcock a week ago but could not find the nest. Always wanted to see what the nest looks like. Woodcock are extremely abundant up in Pictou Co. cheers Ken ----- Original Message ----- From: James Churchill To: naturens@chebucto.ns.ca Sent: Saturday, May 29, 2010 9:29 PM Subject: [NatureNS] AMERICAN WOODCOCK nesting success Hi folks, It appears the AMERICAN WOODCOCK nesting in our back lot (between Hall's Harbour and Centreville, NS) successfully fledged her young. She had a final clutch of 4 eggs as of May 9th. Today was Day 21 of incubation. When I checked her this afternoon the nest site was undisturbed and 3 relatively intact egg shells were present near the nest...no detectable sign of a predation event. Looks like she has helped the Maritimes population along a bit! We have some pictures of her incubating (just before clutch count) and of the nest with eggs (taken during the clutch count) if anyone is interested...pop me an email.
