Although some people confuse woodcock with their close cousin, the snipe, the birds are separate species that belong to the sandpiper family. Unlike others in its family, woodcock prefer uplands. Woodcock are forest birds known for their erratic flight patterns and unusual spring displays by the males. A Senecan Indian myth says God made the woodcock from the leftover parts of other birds. Large eyes are located along the sides of the bird's head, allowing it to see in all directions, including directly behind.
The costume designs not only clothe the visually sumptuous filmâs characters, but create the aesthetic of an imaginary fashion label called The House of Woodcock, whose namesake, Reynolds Woodcock, is played by Daniel Day-Lewis in what is said to be his last performance.
