J. Audubon Woodlore is a fussy, but crafty and knowledgeable park ranger of Brownstone National Park. He was voiced by Bill Thompson and currently by Corey Burton.
Appearances
Audubon Woodlore is usually seen performing duties related to running to Brownstone National Park. His foil is usually Humphrey the Bear. In one cartoon, he is seen regulating fishing season. During the short, Woodlore serves in keeping the lakes stocked, and making sure that everyone follows the laws. At the end, he opens hunting season, much to the chagrin of Humphrey. In another, he realizes that the park was become covered in litter. He starts to pick up the litter himself, but then realizes that since he is the boss, he can makes someone else do it. He then makes the bears perform a cleanup of the piles of litter that are in the park, bribing them with the prospect of chicken cacciatore.
In other cartoons, he interacts with Donald Duck. At one point, Donald Duck runs a honey farm next door to the Park. Ranger Woodlore is seen trying to keep the bears (mainly Humphrey) from raiding the hives. In another cartoon, he serves as a tour guide at the Grand Canyon. When Donald and Humphrey destroy the canyon, Woodlore forces the 2 to start digging in an attempt to repair the canyon.

Along with Humphrey and many other characters, Woodlore was apart of Mickey's band in the opening animated theme. He was the lead drummer and marched in front of Humphrey and the other bears.
