A search for cavities around the Loch at dusk, yielded an American Woodcock.  After dusk we found the male fishing in his normal spot. We looked for the female but couldn’t find her, so we left for the evening.

Luckily, as I was leaving the park, I found both owls on a high tree branch east of the West Drive around 102nd Street copulating. They then both went down to the Pool. I lost track of the male, but the female was very vocal in the trees near the large Willow on the east side of the Pool.
