An American Woodcock in New York.

10,000 Birds

I was especially pleased with this sighting of an American Woodcock for so many reasons. For a start, it was the first bird that had caught the attention of my new binoculars (Busnells 8×42 L series, in case you need to know). There were plenty of House Sparrows in Bryant Park, but they didn’t warrant first focus. For a second reason, I just don’t see enough woodcocks, so I was delighted to find it shading under a small evergreen.
