Woodcock with chicks

nobody@flickr.com (Marty Jones "BIRDS OF INDIANA") — Wed, 12 May 2010 18:54:09 -0700

Marty Jones "BIRDS OF INDIANA" posted a photo:

Jasper-Pulaski FWA, May 11, 2010. Four of the five chicks are seen in this photo. I first spotted them crossing State Road 143 southeast of the Sandhill Crane viewing area.

Eggs hatch from early April until mid-June, with the hatch normally peaking by May across the woodcock breeding range. When the clutch starts to hatch, the eggs split lengthwise as the chicks begin to emerge.

American woodcock chicks are precocial, meaning they are able to leave the nest within a few hours after hatching. They are covered with fine down -- pale brownish to buff with brown spots, stripes above and rufous below. A dark line runs from the bill back to the eyes.

From the day they hatch, chicks learn to "freeze" when threatened or in response to hearing the hen's alarm call. During the first few days, the hen broods her chicks frequently, especially during inclement weather.

Chicks grow rapidly feeding on a high-protein diet of insects and earthworms. After two weeks, they can fly short distances. And at the end of four weeks, they're almost fully grown. Not only are they flying strongly, but they have almost reached their adult size and weight. The family breaks up when the chicks are six to eight weeks old.
