Did I get your attention? Nope, I am not serving Tequila. Instead this is an introduction to an American Woodcock dancing to the tune of Tequila!
Tim Flanigan This is a hen that has been caught by a winter storm that is preventing her from probing for her earthworm diet. The “dance” is actually a form of seismographic testing in an attempt to encourage an earthworm to move so that her ultra-sensitive feet can detect it and she can probe for it. She normally eats nearly her body weight in worms daily. This bird is in trouble.
Oh dear, I hope the bird will find other ways to forage.
I came to rescue him..MOL 😀 I had a laugh, Seeker, but it’s so sad. I hope somebody will feed him. Pawkiss 🙂
I know it is sad but that’s the nature of life. I’m sure who ever was taking the photo they would have feed the hen.
Thank you for sharing and greetings 🙂 🙂
Thank you for visiting.
I wish I had moves like that! *LOL* Cher xo
I’m sure you can dance the Gangman style 😆
It’s funny you’d say that! Have you heard of, “Bitstrips”? I ‘cartooned’ myself in a scene dancing in a subway car and titled it, “Cher doing it Gangman style” (or something like that)! Cher xo
🙂
He should come here. Worms everywhere. 🙂
Don’t you guys have a Woodcock there?
I will Google the name. I don’t recognize the bird.
Okeydokey and let me know. Thank you.
So, so precious! Great find! 🙂
