The Music of Nature proudly presents “American Woodcock,“ a video portrait of an American Woodcock giving it's nasal “peent“ calls at dusk. Notice the subtle throat sound that immediately precedes each peent. At the end, he takes flight and you can hear the high-pitched twittering of his wings, a sound made by modified wing feathers. © 2009 Lang Elliott, Videotaped by Lang Elliott in April 2009, near Ithaca, New York Many thanks to all those who helped: Bob McGuire, Beth Bannister, Becca Harber, David Werier, and Sarah Brown.
