In the light rain shower, Woodcocks or not, I decided to go forward with the
Woodcock Walk at Irvine Nature Center today. I was surprised and thrilled to
learn that I would be joined by Katharine Patterson.
We found the fields in the back of the property flooded and there were many
Canada Goose and Mallard there. The rain stopped around 5:45. Five Savannah
Sparrow and two Song Sparrow got counted. We did not hear or see the
Red-headed Woodpecker that was found in November -- dang.
Shortly after sunset, I saw two AMWO fly by and land in the middle of one of
the fields; but they remained still and quiet.
