The Garden Club of the Back Bay reports the rescue of a woodcock on Arlington Street. Same one spotted downtown yesterday? How many woodcocks could there be flitting around Boston Proper?

Get that birdie on his way to somewhere warm with lots of tasty worms. Lucky he wasn't a snipe or they'd never have found him.

Snipes don't exist here - but they do in Africa - wading bird with a straw -like beak.
In fact resembles the American Woodcock.

Snipes do exist here. And they do look very much like woodcocks, with that crazy long beak and stubby body. Funny things

I knew a really scuzzy kid in the 90s who called half-smoked cigarettes snipes and would go on hunts for them each day. Come back with a "pack" of snipes.

Maybe it'll drop back in for a quick Boston visit while passing through next Spring, and we can all catch up. (And I don't know if he/she is in a realtionship or not. But I've got a turkey friend . . )

There was a woodcock in the South End last fall that had sadly been struck and killed by a car. I've seen them in the Fenway Victory Gardens alive and well from time to time.
