Woodcock
In a previous thread by Gary Laudermilch i mentioned finding a woodcock with 2 young in a yard of a house where i was working. The date was April 21. The photo does not show the yellow color of the chicks. Mom did the broken wing follow me act and the little ones hid and stayed still as she led us away. We watched from a distance as she came back and led them off showing them what to eat. Time of the whole thing probably 2 hours, all 4 of us still and watching.
