I was so excited that I could not close my eyes all night, and could think of nothing but blackcock.

The males have now acquired the banded throats, and indulge in love-antics, much after the fashion of the blackcock.

Although the blackcock is a noble bird in appearance, he is dull and heavy, and is easily bagged.
