Yep, American Woodcock. Something ate its brains; how seasonal.

Subject: [cayugabirds-l] remains of a ? in Bradfield parking lot
This morning as I walked through the parking lot on the west side of Bradfield
Hall, I noticed the remains of a bird's head lying in the parking lot,
presumably left from some raptor's lunch eaten overhead. My best guess was an
American Woodcock, but would love to have someone more knowledgeable correct or
confirm it. I've put some lousy quality photos taken with my iPod here ...
