Tonight while running errands in the area of Sawmill Rd and Hard Rd about
8:45pm I heard the familiar "Peent".  I had to find it...since I could not
make it to Highbanks for their Woodcock program.  At the south/west corner
is Lifestyle Fitness and there is a strip of thin woods around the
perimeter.  The woodcock was in the SW corner of Sawmill and Hard Rd
carrying on for all he was worth.  I used to hear and see them west on Hard
across from Dublin Scioto High School but a housing development pushed them
out.

It was very loud over traffic and I wandered if anyone else heard it and
wandered what it was.  Always a nice 'gift' to have 'nature' surprises when
running errands.

The Highbanks Metro Park program on woodcocks was a big success this
evening.  There was a good turnout of people and the woodcocks put on a
great show with lots of aerial display flights, much peenting to be heard,
and several close views of the birds flying over the road.
