We had a welcome visit on our deck Wednesday morning by an American Woodcock. It's only the second time We've seen one and certainly never this close.
What an amazing bird. I shot a little video of it walking of the deck, all the while bouncing up and down before hopping off. It flew away after about 20 minutes.

Great photos! Makes it worth getting up if you get this kind of floor show!

Thanks. It certainly was a surprise. Our three cats thought they were watching the nature channel in HD.
