April 17 2018 Northern Mockingbird singing catbird, green frog & other calls near parking lot; Eastern Phoebe with beautiful male Myrtle YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLER around pond at bottom of GD Trail; American Woodcock scared up at top of GD forest right beside path — rich body colour, wing twittering heard; recent turkey tracks following path in GD forest (included in count because tracks were so fresh but we couldn’t see it — any rule about this? We defer to higher authorities :)). We met Peter & Alex finishing their CC transect where they saw a Woodcock right beside the path near Hickory Valley Platform — funny that we failed to find it minutes later but saw one on GD anyway. A fun cold morning!
