Woodcocks everywhere and Monk Parakeets near Meer

Lloyd Spitalnik photographed these two in the park yesterday.

Ardith Bondi saw four woodcocks at the Loch in the North Woods yesterday
and someone else reported one of these large woodlands-loving shorebirds on highway 187 near Yonkers, in the center strip. Hope someone rescued it.

PS Rebekah Creshkoff sent in a report for a new park bird yesterday.

Around 10:00 am or so today, I was in the north end of C.P., at the south end of the path that parallels the ridge, when I heard Monk Parakeet squawking. Sighted three parakeets flying E over the Meer, moving fast
