[nysbirds-l] Hendrickson Park update, RHWO yes, geese no

[Tim Healy]

If any folks are interested for year listing purposes, photography, or general 
bird enjoyment in the chilly doldrums of March, the Red-headed Woodpecker 
continues at Hendrickson Park in Valley Stream. It is approaching full adult 
plumage, with a more-red-than-not head developing that crushed velvet look even 
though the black and white aren't totally sleek and crisp yet. The large flocks 
of overwintering geese have left the lake, taking the rarities with them. Dad 
last saw the Pink-footed Goose on February 28, so it didn't quite make it to 
the 4-month marker. Killdeer have been back for a few weeks and Red-wings are 
singing. 

Cheers!
-Tim H

[nysbirds-l] Woodcocks in Massapequa

[Peter Reisfeld]

Timberdoodlemania is not just confined to New York City. Around 1PM today as I 
was searching (unsuccessfully) for the Northern Goshawk at the Massapequa 
Preserve I surprised 3 American woodcocks just west of the Pittsburgh Avenue 
lake. Also seen in the park were killdeer and an overwintering catbird. Looks 
to be an interesting migration this year. 

Good birding, 

Peter

[nysbirds-l] American Woodcock Event in NYC Parks.

[Anders Peltomaa]

Hi all,
This morning I counted 21 (yes Twenty-one!!) American Woodcocks on my
morning walk in Central Park, and I only covered the Ramble Area. In
addition to the Woodcocks I also found a Wilson's snipe.

Here is a link to my Flickr page with some photos:

Re:[nysbirds-l] Woodcocks around Manhattan

[Zack]

I just saw an American Woodcock about 25 minutes ago on a handicapped access 
ramp leading to 799 Washington Street at the northeast corner of Horatio and 
Washington Streets in Manhattan's Far West Village (kitty corner from the small 
"park" where the Couch's Kingbird was first seen two years ago).  He seemed a 
little disoriented, and was fluttering about a bit.  I went home to see if I 
could find anything to feed  him (no grubs handy, but I thought if he was 
desperate enough he might go for some nuts or seeds), but when I returned  a 
few minutes later he was gone.  No luck trying to refind him.

Best wishes,

Zack Winestine
