Whisper Of The Woodcock

An American woodcock disappears into the autumn forest floor—almost. That long bill and dark eye give it away, but just barely. This secretive bird's camouflage is legendary, and the watercolor treatment enhances the effect, bleeding soft edges into the tangle of fallen oak leaves and moss. Hunters and birders know the thrill of finally spotting one. This piece captures that moment right before you lose it again.
