Drizzling. Misty. Grey.
Across from the Green Wood Cemetery,
at the foot of the chain link security fence surrounding the electrical substation,
I found this bird.
Its skull appears to be crushed. There is a visible dent in the flesh surrounding the eye socket. I suspect his death was accidental.
Can you please identify this creature?
I have never seen his kind before in our neighborhood.

That is/was an American Woodcock
It's an American Woodcock and they are early migrants. Poor thing didn't make it to his/her breeding grounds. Very unsettling. You can find more info about woodcocks on my blog:
