Hooray!!! I've just been out in this tumultuous weather listening to repeated skydance music from a woodcock in the field north of our house. The wind is so strong (and cold) I could hear it do the twittering ascent to circle overhead, and then the chirping descent, for 7 cycles, but couldn't hear it "peent" on the ground, nor did it do it for long before rising again. I'm frozen-- how can the bird do it?
