Woodcocks Southward Flight Across the Range
Woodcocks migrate from northern and western ranges toward the south in late September, wintering mainly in Louisiana and Alabama by early December. They favor swamps and cotton fields by day, with active nocturnal feeding and easy shooting for southern hunters until darkness and leverage of jack-lights bring fatal hunts by night. Two negroes use a pine torch and a gun to hunt the birds, which often squat with heads raised as the torch flashes.
