If you are looking for a how to book on woodcock and grouse hunting look elsewhere. Valdene spends a great deal of time painting a picture with very fine brush strokes. As you read you will smell the smells, feel the ground under foot and see the enviroment as it really is. This is not a book about hunting as much as it is a book about appreciating something. I have read it several times (it is an easy read) and I am sure I will read it again and again. There are technical aspects to the book. When you are finished you will know pretty much all there is to know about woodcock. From the singing grounds in March through migration in the late fall. You will definatly have an appreciation for this simple little bird.

If you have/now, or hope to live in 'their' flight path ... enjoy this lovely book.

The reicpes, the family stories, the insights are profound!

We're in Lakeville, Maine ... And the stories are like home spun ... Enjoy!

I was going to write a review, but another reviewer, Mr. Gardner, already wrote it for me. Another fine book about the field from Valdene.
