The woodcock is a mysterious, unpredictable, secretive bird, loved by many sportsmen and naturalists alike. For centuries artists have been inspired by this iconic bird; its shape and coloring, its habitat, and its migratory pattern. In this book, eight leading sporting artists portray the woodcock in their own unique style from pencil, watercolor, and oil to outstanding sculptures. A stunning book, beautifully designed, that will be savored by everyone whose blood begins to tingle when they catch sight of the woodcock silently flitting through the trees.
