My wife and I watched the woodcocks displaying at Highbanks Metropark last
night. We viewed from the entrance road at the mailbox. The first "peent" was
heard at 8:25 PM and the first flight followed about five minutes later. There
were at least three individuals flying. We watched until it got too dark to see
them at about 8:50 PM.

One of my favorite rites of spring...

Happy birding,
