Video--Woodcock Banding, Spring 2010





In this photo my GSP Bruno is pointing a woodcock hen in Presque Isle County in NE Lower Michigan. I captured and banded the hen's two chicks, whose bills each measured 26 mm on May 10, 2010. The chicks'average bill length indicates that they are six days old here in this photo.

The very next day, Bruno and I encountered the same hen and chicks more than a quarter mile away from this location where we captured and banded them today. This video shows Bruno's long, staunch points as we search to discover their hiding spot.
