Abstract:	Summary Levels of lead were determined in primary feathers of 1008 woodcocks (Philohela minor) shot by hunters in 32 states of the species' United States range. Lead levels did not vary by sex or age but varied significantly (P<0.05) by state. Generally, levels were found to be low (<30 g/g d.w.) in the birds examined. No significant correlations were found between mean lead levels and 10 human population, highway and highway traffic parameters examined.
