The puzzling question I've had for years is if earth worms were/are far and few
in northern Wisconsin, what have Woodcock and Snipe been feeding on? I've
observed Woodcock really going to town along the west shore of Green Bay
feeding on earth worms. Their bills are flexible like forceps to extract worms.
So what were they feeding on in the past in northern WI??

Thanks, Ryan and Tom. That's the article I was thinking of.
The WisBirdNet is also a great resource!

A friend and I are debating whether earth worms are native to WI or not. I seem
to remember reading something about ovenbirds and other birds that nest in leaf
litter losing the litter due to the introduction of earth worms, especially in
northern WI. Can someone please send me some info on this?
Thanks,
