Snuggled in the snow.


American woodcock.


Rondeau Provincial Park, Ontario, Canada, April 21, 2021.
Spotted an adult crossing the road with four chicks.
Their camouflage didn't work in the snow.
All the chicks safety crossed the road and moved into the forest.
Scolopax minor.
The American Woodcock probes the soil with its bill to search for earthworms, using its flexible bill tip to capture prey. The bird walks slowly and sometimes rocks its body back and forth, stepping heavily with its front foot. This action may make worms move around in the soil, increasing their detectability.
