Virginia Senechal and I visited Owen Park this morning, check out Virginia's picasa page for some nice shots of Widgeon & Gadwall. We observed the following. Also spent a short amount of time at Beaver Lake afterwards.
I stopped by Richmond Hill Park at about 5:45 - 6:30 and thought I heard a few "peent" calls of American Woodcock but no displays. Seems the disk golf players have good night vision. They were still at it in the near dark, which made it hard to hear more than a few calls.
