Carleton, "my friend Rossitur promised me a rare bag of woodcock, which I understand to be the best of American feathered game; and, in pursuance of his promise, led me over a large extent of meadow and swamp land, this morning, with which, in the course of several hours, I became extremely familiar, without flushing a single bird." "Meadow and swamp land!" said the old gentleman. "Whereabouts?"
From the number of birds about here, I think there must be water near; I hope she may find it, although I am afraid she is too far gone even to try it. At 1 o'clock, at the foot of Mount Woodcock, the horses' spirits revived at sight of their old track. I shall now be able to get all the rest of them safe to water, although there is one still doubtful.
A breathless post no other than Adam Woodcock brought despatches from Sir Halbert Glendinning to the Abbot, whom he found with Roland, still residing at Dundrennan, and in vain torturing Boniface with fresh interrogations. The packet bore an earnest invitation to his brother to make Avenel Castle for a time his residence.
These ice-boxes were such as to offer continual delight to any epicure, what with their rows of fat clean fishes and crabs and oysters, the birds nicely plucked, all the dainties which this rich market of the South could afford, from papabotte to terrapin. Helena herself selected two woodcock and approved the judgment of Jean in canvasback.
"The Pope, that pagan full of pride, Has blinded us full lang." Roland Graeme, who felt no great delight, as may be supposed, in the falconer's satire, considering its subject, began to snatch up his mantle, and fling it around his shoulders, an action which instantly interrupted the ditty of Adam Woodcock. "Where the vengeance are you going now," he said, "thou restless boy?
The sage grouse, quail, swans, woodcock, dove, and all shore birds should be given a ten-year close season, and rigidly protected, before the stock is all gone. The model law for the protection of non-game birds should be enacted at once. Utah should create a big-game preserve, at once. If Utah proposes to save even a remnant of her wild life for posterity, she must be up and doing.

There was also a black woodcock, presumably a mate of this one; but it it has been disposed of. The pair were slain yesterday with bow and arrow in the adjacent depths of the woodland, which is their customary habitat." You will note that I constantly refrained from mentioning my youthful compatriots.
He who then rambled to what is now the gayest and most crowded part of Regent Street found himself in a solitude, and, was sometimes so fortunate as to have a shot at a woodcock. On the north the Oxford road ran between hedges. Three or four hundred yards to the south were the garden walls of a few great houses which were considered as quite out of town.
NEW BRUNSWICK: Partridge, plover and woodcock. Moose and deer are getting more plentiful every year. NOVA SCOTIA: The Canada grouse may possibly become extinct in Nova Scotia, unless the protection it now enjoys can save it. The American golden plover, which formerly came in immense flocks, is now very rare.
