Abstract
Description
The format of this thesis deviates from the norm
because it is in the form of three papers written for
publication in the Journal of Wildlife Management. Each
paper deals with a different aspect of research on the
American woodcock (Philohela minor) in central Wisconsin.
The research was conducted in the spring and summer of
1975 and 1976 with some additional work in the spring of
1977. The primary objectives of the study were to: (1)
determine habitat preferences (2) study breeding biology
including nesting success and growth of chicks (3) study
characteristics of a heavily hunted population and (4)
investigate the potential for initiating a banding program
in the area. Material not intended for publication
is found in the Appendix.
