Peter,
12 stoic birders met three timberdoodlers at Gwc on a day that was well below freezing.
Highlights were three timberdoodles, the first was up high near Hydrangia path. the second which was spotted by Orin led us to our third well hidden woodcock near the "boocock" mausoleum.
Other highlights were eastern phoebes near Sylvian and dell waterways as well as about ten fox sparrows. one fox was singing at length which gave us a nice opportunity to study its vocalizations. A pair of (mating?) Merlin also put on a nice show near crescent water.
The one bird that was absent was monk parakeet. First time in several years we have been to Gwc and didn't see or hear one.
Best,
The Timberdoodlers
