The American Woodcock does a strange bobbing walk when foraging for earthworms just under the soil surface. It's hypothesized this rhythmic walk disturbs earthworms, making them easier to detect. Suggesting: If you walk WITH rhythm, you WILL attract the worm.

Da babies!!
Swiggity swooty, they comin' for day booty
I believe I read somewhere that it vibrated like raindrops, tricking the worms to come to the surface ?🤔🪱
i just happened to see this animated gif while listening to "too much pressure (live)" by the selecter from the dance craze soundtrack. it's perfect
Where have I seen that dance before? Oh, right. m.youtube.com/watch?v=1msc...

My new motto: Walk with rhythm, attract the worm
I read that as "hypnotized", which kinda works, too
Walk without rhythm, and you won't attract the worm
