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.

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. ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
