WILDLIFE DISTRIBUTION AND OCCURRENCE
WILDLIFE SPECIES: Scolopax minor | American Woodcock
GENERAL DISTRIBUTION :
Breeding range of the American woodcock extends from southern Manitoba
east through Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia and south through the
eastern and central United States into Florida. Populations extend as
far west as eastern Texas and Oklahoma. Winter range of the American
woodcock is the southern portion of its breeding range, from southern
Missouri south [2,6,8]. There are two populations of American woodcock:
the Eastern and Central. Each is distinguished by its own migration
corridor, but some mixing does occur [6]. The Eastern population breeds
in New England and the Canadian Maritime Provinces and winters in the
South Atlantic States. The Central population breeds in the Great Lake
States and Canada and winters in the Gulf States.

These include second-growth hardwood forests with aspen (Populus spp.)
or alder (Alnus spp.), oak (Quercus spp;), hickory (Carya spp.), and
maple (Acer spp.). They also inhabit spruce (Picea spp.)-fir (Abies

(Pinus taeda), shortleaf pine (P. echinata), and longleaf pine (P.
