This lovely timberdoodle (aka American Woodcock) was on his way south to spend the winter gently twerking while hunting for worms.

Instead he smashed into a window and died.

These beautiful birds have a staggering courtship display, a super strange “Peent peent” call, and deserve better from us.

Please turn off your outdoor lights and draw your curtains at night to protect all our migrating feathered friends.

So this is the bird my husband saw last night, just in our area. We couldn't figure out which type of bird it was. He was planning on helping one out since it couldn't fly.

Hi! If you ever see one on the ground, carefully approach and lift it into a paper bag. Then JC Birds (on Facebook) can help with getting the bird to a rehabber. If the bird you saw is still around, lmk and I’ll pick him up
