Subject:      Male American Woodcock found dead in Athens, GA
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"

During my morning bicycle commute to the UGA campus this morning, I
found a dead male American Woodcock in the bike lane along East Campus
Road.  I occasionally find robins and doves struck by vehicles here, but
this is my first time finding something this unusual.  The woodcock was
in pretty good shape despite being hit by a car, and will be made into a
study skin here at the university.  This was my first time seeing the
three small outer primaries that are responsible for that unique
whistling call during a woodcock's mating flight.  Just a shame it got
hit.
