DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Surveys designed to determine the population status of American woodcock indicate little change in recent continental breeding populations, but a continuing decline in production. The annual harvest of this species, meanwhile, continues to soar with an apparent upsurge in hunter's awareness of the woodcock's sporting qualities. Research activities continue to uncover information related to the reliability of singing-ground surveys while banding operations in Louisiana, Maine, Michigan, and West Virginia testify to the feasibility of expanding this very important program throughout North America. West Virginia has contributed significantly to this program through its improvement of the night-lighting technique which was developed in association with their primary objective of evaluating the importance of hunting as a mortality factor. Woodcock bandings and recoveries from the Moosehorn National Wildlife Refuge are being examined to determine more about the characteristics of this lightly harvested population and to better understand their use of various habitat types.

Wing-collection data for 1973-74 indicated that productivity increased during the previous spring by 15% rangewide, % in the Atlantic Region, and 21% in the Central Region. Daily and seasonal hunting success was also greater by 8.6% and 10.0% respectively. The 1974 breeding population index increased increased 6.5% rangewide, 2.4% in the Atlantic Region, and 10.0% in the Central Region. Indices from 1964-74 suggested a declining breeding population in the Central Region. Recoveries of 2,950 banded woodcock indicate the existence of two relatively distinct populations. More than 94% of the recoveries were made in the Region of banding.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Singing-ground surveys of the American woodcock indicate that breeding populations have increased gradually over the past 7 years while production, as indicated by wing-collection surveys, has remained relatively stable. The woodcock harvest, meanwhile, has probably more than doubled during the past decade. This suggests that while woodcock are probably becoming more important to North American sportsmen, hunting mortality is still relatively unimportant.
