Description
While walking in a swampy area along Otter Creek in Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore I jumped an adult Wood Cock that pretended to be wounded in an attempt to lure me away. I knew from the way it flew off that there was either a nest or young. It took off right at my feet. I couldn't find a nest but did find two chicks. I quickly moved around them taking a few photographs. They never moved a muscle. This was the first time I had ever seen young Wood Cock this small. What a treat. I hope you enjoy the photograph of this rare sight.
