Now that the ponds in Green-Wood Cemetery are thawed (for the time being, anyway) it has attracted a few nice species of waterfowl. Among the usual suspects today were also Wood Duck, a pair of Redheads and Ring-necked Duck. The Redheads were a first for me in Green-Wood Cemetery in my nearly 20 years of birding at that spot.
Due in part to significantly less foot traffic that our city parks, Green-Wood Cemetery is an excellent place to find migrating woodcocks. Right now they are relatively numerous. This morning we practically stepped on one that was slowly tottering along beneath a Himalayan Cedar near Samuel B. Morse.
