A couple of woodcock from a high West Virginia valley.
This 20 gauge Sterlingworth has accounted for quite a few of these tidbits.
One of them was banded and carrying a gps transmitter.

It would be interesting if you report that band to get info about it's travels. Much like a waterfowl band. Please keep us posted, thanks for the pictures and congrats on the unique trophy bird. I'm not so sure I would'nt have that one mounted as is.

Wow, that band and transmitter are something. What agency is doing the study on Woodcock?

The bander has been in contact with me. He placed both the band and the gps transmitter. The transmitter is only about a month old. I am returning it to the FWS biologist to be reused.
