Chris Montouri, of Second Chance wildlife rehabilitators in
Gaithersburg, told me that she gets injured woodcock regularly in
the spring and fall, and they are always from downtown DC.  She
wondered if the lights confuse them there.  Also, about 4
years ago one of the gardeners told me that she had flushed
one in the Mary Ripley garden (on the opposite side of the
A&I Building from the Enid Haupt garden).
