happened because I copied and pasted the link and messages from my
friends...

Here is the correct link to the photo if you want to see the Woodcock that
visited our Upper West Side backyard today.

[nysbirds-l] Ramble, Central Park NYC: Baker's Dozen of American Woodcocks

2017-03-15 Thread Anders Peltomaa
Hi all,
Between 6:20 and 7:15pm I rallied around the Ramble and found THIRTEEN
Woodcocks:
2 in the stream from Azalea to Oven,
5 in the Oven (thanks to Ed Gaillard for the tip of those two locations),
1 by rustic bridge where the Gill flows into Lake,
1 in the Upper Lobe,
4 by Triplets Bridge.

Woodcock BONANZA for a birder, not sure how good they themselves were
feeling...

My wife and I saw another one in our backyard earlier in the day, of which
I got a photo:

good birding,

need of rehab/rescue!"

A friend that volunteers at WBF gave me tips on how to take care of injured
Woodcocks. Basically, if you see one that doesn't look so great please
place it in a paper bag and bring them to the Center. Also, punch a couple
of holes in the bag, and if possible, add terry cloth for perching.  With
such big birds, a big box is also suitable."
