Just looked it up and it's actually true. The woodcock's beak acts as a UHF, AM/FM reciever due to a naturally occurring geopositioning iron deposit in the end normally used for navigational purposes while in flight. The birds can be seen bouncing to the latest hits near cities and towns but this behavior is not observed in more remote locations where radio frequencies aren't present. Scientists called this phenomenon Bio-Radio Receptivity.

One day a woodcock got so scared of a coyote that was about ready to eat him that he started to throw up in uncontrolled gag reflex. The coyote was immediately disinterested due to the obvious deadly neurological disorder the woodcock had. And then it was a thing and that's my story.

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. (Cornell Lab)

Seagulls also drum on the ground with their feet to make the worms come to the surface. It's thought that the technique mimics rain which attracts the worms, so this theory is definitely plausible for what we're seeing here from the woodcocks.

Yes, the woodcock use the feet to feel the vibes under the ground for food. I don't hunt anymore but did 35 years ago. 5-6 just for a small meal. It was a way of life back in the day hunting so we had food. Life got better and I stopped hunting altogether. I still take walks into the woods today just so I can see all wild life for the beauty of all things. I don't miss the hunt anymore. When I can I teach kids how to view them without making them run away and take pictures of the wild.

One theory of why they do this involves knowing that they only do it when they are aware of being watched and thus wary and don't want to flee a good feeding spot unless they have to. The idea goes like this: some animals use physical or verbal cues to "announce" to ambush predators that they've already been spotted (think pronging gazelle) and thus it would be a waste of the predator's time and energy to attack a prey that is ready to rapidly flee and only waiting for your next twitch to send them scurrying. As for the ambush predators, it is thought that evolutionary exposure to these behaviors by their prey and what they mean is naturally embedded as a way to save energy as opposed to wasting it when they have little chance of successfully ambushing their "I see you, seeing me" prey.

I wonder if this is like with chameleons, who wobble in a similar way to look like a leaf fluttering in the wind instead of a tasty prey item.

Nah, these guys are just _pumped,_ or maybe still buzzing from the rave last night, at least one of them is still high on something, as he decided to take a dump in the middle of the road and just kept on jammin' along without a care in the world...

While I didn't laugh, I am impressed the cameraperson was able to refrain from bobbing their head while filming them.

I had never seen this beautiful bird before. Which dinosaur would be the ancestor of this beautiful bird?

Reminds me of the song "Do a little dance, make a little love, get down tonite". Spring courtship.

Absolutely wonderful! As a birdwatcher outside the US this makes me want to return to the North American continent to spend more time watching the native birds.

I wonder if they all have a motor neuron problem or they're constantly trying to attract a mate with that move OR OR OR probing the ground for insects?
