Woodcock activities, turning eggs, re-building nest, chasing away predators
To those woodcock and grouse lovers, welcome to some amazing footage of woodcock being woodcock. I don't know of anyone in my lifetime that ever viewed a hen woodcock turning her eggs, rebuilding her nest or chasing a ground mole away from her nest but you are about to see it now. This eight and a half minute video was filmed by professional wildlife photographer, Gerald Krausse of Kingston, RI. Gerald lives less then three miles from our Peace Dale Shooting Preserve and during the spring and summer of 2012, Gerald spent over a hundred hours filming the daily traits, nesting habits and brood activities of six separate (nesting) of woodcock and one turkey. Gerald spent many (eight to ten hour) days sitting inside a camo blind set up in nesting areas. Many, many more hours were spent filming the growth of woodcock chicks during the first weeks of their lives.
Gerald has traveled hundreds of miles filming wildlife activities such as drumming grouse.
Gerald's ultimate goal is to film the actual hatching of woodcock and grouse chicks. From what I have seen of Gerald's determination, he will succeed in that venture but he needs everyone's help by contacting him when ever anyone finds a grouse or woodcock on a nest. The time involved and distance to be traveled would mean nothing to Gerald. He needs your help to capture even more wildlife activities so next spring, if you find a nesting bird, know the drumming place of a grouse, or any wildlife activity, please call Gerald at the number listed at the end of the video.
