[nysbirds-l] woodcock on Park Ave. and 53rd. st., Manhattan

[Andrew Block]

Saw a dazed but alive Woodcock plop down in front of a building on the 
northeast corner of Park Ave. and 53rd. st. this early afternoon.  Poor thing 
was stunned after hitting the building I guess and then plopped down on the 
sidewalk across the street in front of us.   Before I could get to it it 
fluttered up about 50 feet or so and over Park going west, circled around and 
flew back down 53rd. going east, curved south on Park and landed about 40 feet 
up on the side of a building on Park.  Couldn't stay to see where it went after 
that, but hope it made it to Central Park at least:-(  Never seen one stranded 
like that in the city.  Poor thing.

[nysbirds-l] Woodcock

[Andrew Block]

Driving home on I-684 south just at dusk and just past the Bedford rest area I 
had a woodcock flying east to west just above eye level.  Guess they're still 
around:-)

[nysbirds-l] woodcock at Poxabogue Pond, Southampton

[Bruce Horwith]

It was wonderful to be rewarded with the sights and sounds of woodcock last
night on my annual March trip to Poxabogue Pond. Although the birding was
slow during the hour leading up to their display that started around 7:15,
the other highlights were a bald eagle, and FOS osprey and great egret on
Little Poxabogue Pond.
And can't forget (or ignore) the peepers -- at times it was blissfully
deafening!

[nysbirds-l] Woodcock etc.

[Joseph Fell]

Trying to make an effort to see some early migrants, I had at least 8
Woodcock at Red Jacket Riverfront Park in Buffalo on Wednesday. Birds bite
scattered throughout the park, calling and making their twittering flight
sounds. I don’t know that I have heard so many in one small spot since I
was a kid!

Yesterday I had quite a few Rusty Blackbirds and 3 Ravens at Tifft. I did
not see the Eurasian Wigeon, but ducks weren’t as numerous as I’d expect.

For those interested, Buffalo Niagara Waterkeeper will be doing some
cleanups in April and May - please consider participating:

[nysbirds-l] Woodcock Hudson Yards

[Alan Drogin]

Having my office move from across Bryant Park to Hudson Yards in April has been 
a tough birding experience.  Especially after one of my favorite vacant lots of 
wild trees and vegetation above 36th Street was bulldozed this summer.

Nevertheless, I got 30 species in the spring and over the summer I saw the 
Herring Gulls flock to the two green roofs over Jacob Javits and Postal 
Service, scare off all of the Ring-Billed Gulls, lay eggs, have fluffy grey 
fledgelings, and then depart en masse post-Hurricane Dorian in early September.

I’ve been able to add some species during the fall migration - typical for the 
fall, more sparrows and wrens.  There have been some late-staying Ovenbirds, 
Common Yellowthroats, and a Wood Thrush I would see occasionally.

But today I encountered my favorite from Bryant Park - my first American 
Woodcock - in the small garden plot north of 34th street by the construction 
wall on the west side.  It would scuttle up over the hill and out of sight as I 
would walk from one side to the other.  That’s species number 47!

Happy Birding,
Alan Drogin

Re:[nysbirds-l] woodcock @ Bryant Park

[Alan Drogin]

Saw a Woodcock on the way home tonight in the usual spot - sleeping by the 
beehives in the northwest corner.  Fairly out in the open.  Because of the 
bright lighting - probably will be visible into the night.

[nysbirds-l] Woodcock Walk at Croton Point

[Larry Trachtenberg]

Anders

Thank you for the interesting write up. Seems like those two days in March gave 
NY County the single day county high watermark for woodcock in the state. The 
number of snipe a few weeks back at Croton Point park reaching 15 one afternoon 
in two fairly confined areas in close proximity was in my experience pretty 
cool (not quite the scientific analysis). For those who have not had their fill 
of american woodcock this spring, Saw Mill River Audubon will be leading a walk 
tomorrow (Sunday) evening at Croton Point Park in search of them in display 
mode. Link with info below.

[nysbirds-l] Woodcock-wonders, Central Park, NYC 3/15

[Thomas Fiore]

Wednesday, the 15th of March, 2017
Central Park - in Manhattan, N.Y. City

''beware the ices of March'', the soothsayer -sort of- sayth, for  
which this day, in addition to weather-related perils to creatures of  
the genus Homo, brought dramatics of a Scolopax-ian sort to inner/uber  
Central Park (Scolopax is an avian genus, in which American Woodcock  
is placed).

At an absolute minimum, there were 35-40 American Woodcock within the  
park we know as Central, and those numbers, conservative as can be -  
the true numbers may have been as much as triple what I am reporting  
and saw for myself in 8 hours out in the cold, ice, and wind (far less  
than what some of these birds are going thru - but, see below, as well).

I remained in the field until 2 hours past sunset (yes, I was wearing  
'arctic' gear), and thru afternoon-evening hours, visited parts of  
Central Park, & much more briefly, in Morningside Park (2 more  
woodcocks found there, in just 20 minutes - that park, smaller than  
Central, & a short way off to the northwest, is west of Frederick  
Douglass Boulevard, and beneath/east of Morningside Drive).

Amid excitement of an historic day for the species in Central,  
observations were and are very much tempered by the grave difficulty  
these individual lives are in, just now. That said, birds that migrate  
to and from, or reside in, temperate or cold-temperate climes, such as  
American Woodcock - & many, many, many other species moving at the  
''end'' of winter! - have faced these rough-weather issues over  
millennia, and they are adapted, as species, to withstand such  
'infrequent' situations as this seems to us to be.  It has been about  
twenty years (i.e., about one generation in the genus Homo, in  
contemporary times), or a bit more, since an event of his magnitude in  
the city of New York took place (in my memory) however some others,  
with longer memory &/or deeper notes, may have more to say on this  
subject.

- to add a bit to the city-wide (at least) scope of this day's  
woodcock-event, there are sightings from some other areas - from each  
borough (county) in city of New York, that (at least) suggest this may  
have involved many, many, many dozens of woodcocks in each (of 5, in  
NYC) counties - and possibly in the many many hundreds, if not even  
more, thru this region in just the past 24-36 hours.  Nature IS  
prolific, in some (many) instances.

Higher numbers of some other species noted - Rusty Blackbirds (at  
least 9), [Red] Fox Sparrows, (at least 20), & to (somewhat) lesser  
extent, Hooded Merganser (at least 7), Ring-necked Duck (at least 6,  
reservoir), & Dark-eyed Junco (at least 120) - these all counted in  
Central Park on Wednesday, 3/15.  A Red-headed Woodpecker continues in  
the park, in areas west of East 68th Street.

[nysbirds-l] Woodcock & Meadowlark, FBF

[Gabriel Willow]

Yesterday (Saturday) evening I led a Spring Equinox woodcock walk for NYC 
Audubon to Floyd Bennett Field.

We arrived around 6pm, so didn't have too much time to look for birds before 
sunset at 7.  In that time, we found some nice early migrants: a pair of 
Killdeer, numerous singing Red-winged Blackbirds, and my FOS Eastern Meadowlark.

We were distracted when some young men driving their pickup truck a bit 
aggressively around the parking lot managed to flip it (not sure how). Luckily 
no one was hurt, but there were a lot of sirens and hubbub when the police, 
firemen, and ambulances came, and all stared at the truck laying there like a 
beetle on its back. They flipped it back over somehow.

Shortly after sunset, the sky was darkening and the Woodcocks still hadn't 
appeared. I was a bit worried that perhaps the previous day's snow had 
dissuaded them from performing, but suddenly we heard a "beent!" And then 
another and another, and all at once we were surrounded by them. There must 
have been at least a dozen displaying, chasing one another, giving their 
territorial chatter. It was quite a show!

As Andrew mentioned of his woodcock walk, they seemed to end early... All 
activity ceased within 45 minutes.  But it was quite a frenzy for that short 
while.

Happy spring,

Gabriel Willow
NYC Audubon

[nysbirds-l] woodcock and wilson's snipe

[Cesar Castillo]

Hi all,

There was a Wilson's snipe at big egg marsh in Queens this morning along with a 
small number of snow geese and two very nervous sparrows that flew and hid too 
fast for me to ID.
Just 45 mins earlier at Jamaica Bay in the south garden paths I came across an 
American Woodcock that was trying hard not to be seen by me under the thick 
bushes. 
I was hoping for some Pintailed ducks but no luck there.  If anyone can suggest 
a good spot for them I would appreciate it.
I also saw a field sparrow foraging at the feeders at the main entrance to 
Jamaica Bay associating with house finches and 1 yellow-rumped warbler.

[nysbirds-l] re: [nysbirds-l] Woodcock - Yorktown Heights‏

[Adam Zorn]

Hi Thomas,
Its possible that the woodcock could be taking up residence in or near your 
backyard, but they'll also fly in from surrounding areas to perform on the 
"dance floor" as well.  If your backyard is the dance floor, then you could be 
seeing birds in either circumstance.
We led a Woodcock Walk on our nature preserve at Westmoreland Sanctuary on the 
evening of March 24, and before it was too dark to see, we observed one 
woodcock fly in from a nearby wetland (20-30 yds away), but also had other 
woodcocks flying in from surrounding areas (further away based on their 
trajectory and the topography of hills and trees) also landing in the same 
meadow.  At least two of the newcomers were competing males who also began to 
display, but 2 others were likely females who came to watch the show.
You should watch what happens at sundown and see if you can figure out if there 
are others in the area.  That woodcock may not be so lonely afterall!
Good birding,Adam

Curious as to environmental conditions needed for woodcock.  Our backyard is 
one acre, square shape, probably the only chemical-free lawn in the area and is 
surrounded by a perimeter of ~50 ft hardwood and underbrush before acres of 
suburban development sprawl.  I have heard this woodcock in flight for the past 
three nights while out walking the dogs and finally got a good extended looks 
at it this morning.
Is this one that just settled on its way north? Or a male destined for 
membership in the lonely hearts club? Our backyard has some wet areas in the 
spring and has a VERY healthy worm population. There are some undeveloped wet, 
wooded areas about 1/2 mile away.
Any ideas as to why this bird has settled here and whether it may stay the 
season?
Thanks in advance
