Checklist Comments:    Brookline Bird Club-Woodcocks at Meriam’s Corner-Leader: Kathy Dia. Low 40’s and windy, but the wind didn’t seem to deter the Woodcocks which gave us a great show. We also observed a beaver (alerted us with a tail slap), and a beautiful sunset featuring a unique shade of azure blue.
