I was able to observe about 4 American woodcocks this evening at 6:50 PM at the entrance to Highbanks Metro Park in Columbus. This was my first attempt to locate the birds this year based upon snow cover but they are in their usual location. Directions to Highbanks are on the OOS web site and at _www.metroparks.net_ (http://www.metroparks.net) .
