美洲山鷸 - 會跟節拍跳舞的鳥？

影片描述：有趣的美洲山鷸鳥（American Woodcocks），它的構造與大多數其他鳥類完全相反。但差異不止於此。它會「跳舞」，昂首闊步，而受到威脅時它會靜止不動。這種知更鳥大小的雀鳥，身體內外充滿了許多古怪但又可愛之處，所以人們很難不喜歡它。就像一隻有著一連串昵稱的寵物，美洲山鷸也有好幾個渾名，包括Timberdoodle（樹木塗鴉者）、Bogsucker（沼澤者）、Hokumpoke（胡鬧地插？）、Labrador Twister（拉布拉多旋扭者？）和Night Partridge（夜鷓鴣）。Scolopax minor是它的學名。雖然學術上美洲山鷸是鷸的一種，被認為是濱鳥，但它更常在林地和沼澤的邊緣活動，而不是在海灘附近棲息。
