Abstract
We estimated survival rates of wintering American woodcock (Scolopax m inor). We found not age- or sex-specific differences in period surviva l rates. The survival rate for the period 25 December 1994-7 February 1995 for all age and sex classes combined (0.72) was not different fro m a similarly derived estimate for woodcock wintering along the Atlant ic Coast. Survival rates of wintering woodcock are relatively low comp ared to other seasons.
