They look a little like a robin with their coloring, but they're shorter and fatter, and love to scratch in the leaves. The Audubon book is the one I have, but I've not seen your new one--I'll have to look for it.Granny Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129064020727041161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-1893729805418091482010-12-29T08:57:49.359-05:002010-12-29T08:57:49.359-05:00Angela, I have never seen a woodcock!

It's really good and my son bought me The Backyard Bird Feeder's Bible for Christmas. It's an A to Z guide and tells you all about their behavior and what they like to eat. I've learned a lot I didn't know in the past few days. I saw a different bird at our feeder a few days ago, I'm not real sure what it is, I think it might be a Towhee.Janet,https://www.blogger.com/profile/17796999156668844943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-51891352370491623732010-12-28T23:00:36.633-05:002010-12-28T23:00:36.633-05:00Great post Granny Sue!

Hopefully tomorrow since the snow is melting and it will be warmer. I'm pretty bad about it this year.... I did buy a 50 pound bag of seed for them and some suet because I ran out.<br /><br />Have you ever seen a Woodcock? That was one of the wildest looking birds I've ever seen in our woods. I didn't know what it was and didn't have a book back then. Then a few years ago one came down to a spot in the yard where the other birds had sort of melted the snow from where they were there feeding off the seeds from the feeders. I seen a Woodcock there sticking his long beak down into the ground getting bugs! That was a sight to see!<br /><br />Happy New Year!<br />AngelaAngelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15240864960032938754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-13396194727618566412010-12-28T21:15:52.354-05:002010-12-28T21:15:52.354-05:00That's a great idea, Farmchick.

I'm pretty good on them now, and we only get surprise visitors during migration, but Larry doesn't know them quite as well.Granny Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129064020727041161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-71429800546037706532010-12-28T20:33:04.576-05:002010-12-28T20:33:04.576-05:00We have a laminated chart by the back door that we...We have a laminated chart by the back door that we use for bird identification.
