A pair of woodcocks are pictured somewhat outside of their preferred grassy habitat, beside a cozy opening in a tree trunk. Although they often are associated with spring, the presence of freshly fallen leaves seems to indicate a moment just prior to their migration away from this scene. Hand-written at the bottom of the watercolor are Nakamizo's poetic words: "A game bird that is not distrubed by the agriculture. Bird would come silently some April night, and from it then would disappear some October."
