What's flying near you?

I'd never heard of that bird either so I goggled it and this came up:

"Almost all who have eaten them say that woodcock is the king of game birds, greater even than canvasback duck. The flavor of woodcock is said to be strong, gamey-in-a-good-way, and like nothing else. They say the earth moves when you bite into one that has been perfectly cooked: pink, and just a little bloody."

Sounds a bit exciting if you ask me!
