Thanks, Angus...I find this discussion very interesting. I agree about the
"trap" qualities of Bryant Park, though I do hope that many of the birds
eventually move on. (A pair of park workers once told me that they call in
animal rehab often for disoriented Woodcocks, so at least those birds

Joe,
As you know from your regular visits, Bryant Park seems to have an unusual
ability to hold migrants (including some scarce species e.g. Sora,
Chuck-wills-widow, Prothonotary Warbler and numerous Woodcock) for long
periods. I would wager, but can't prove, many of these waifs eventually die
