Description

Upland forests Lady Woodcock is the American Woodcock (Scolopax Minor), photo from my archives, taken in spring 2016.

Edit: Answering the question of Marilyn, photo taken during an American Woodcock banding activity, you need a pointing dog to can find a well camouflaged woodcock in the forest ground, this woodcock was find by my friend's pointing dog.

From Cornell Lab "All About Birds" website.

"Woodcocks nest in young, shrubby, deciduous forests, old fields, and mixed forest-agricultural-urban areas across the eastern United States and southern Canada. They display in forest openings and old fields in the springtime, and they often use clearings for roosting in the summer. On the western edge of their range, they may depend on moist, wooded riverside areas and wet meadows in young woodlands. Woodcocks spend the winter in similar habitats in southern part of breeding range, also moving into additional wintering habitat in Texas and on the southern edges of the Gulf States."
