This is an American Woodcock, seen in the Gaddy Bird Garden in Tower Grove Park. I think of TGP as mainly a warbler/ect. location, but checked it out today, and was rewarded with this woodcock, Red-Headed woodpeckers, Fox Sparrows, some other usual suspects, and a coyote.
Otherwise known as the "timberdoodle", this bird has a goofy habit of bobbing up and down. I suppose this is to judge distances better. When flushed, it will fly straight up, much like a bobwhite. This particular bird was in my back yard.
This beautiful bird - unbeknownst to me - had apparently been hanging around in Central Park for a couple of days: I got lucky and almost stood on it early morning as it sat in the shadow of a fallen branch...I don't suppose (as a visiting Brit) I'm likely to get such good views in the near future!
