[nysbirds-l] Bryant Park Woodcock - yes

[Home]

I am planning a report of this week later tonight but wanted to respond to a 
post about last week’s American Woodcock not being refound.   I could not find 
it all this week either however today at 2pm I did find a Woodcock actively 
feeding near the evergreen at the very northwest corner of the rink behind the 
impromptu Santa seat platform.
