Last evening, 3/12, we went with Jim and Sandy Kovanda to Lake Manawa in Council Bluffs to view American Woodcocks. From about 7:30 to 8:30 there were woodcocks calling and flying all around us in the fields surrounding the parking lot on the south side of the lake. It was difficult to tell how many there were, but would estimate between 6 and 8. We also saw 4 Franklin's Gulls and 8 Herring Gulls in with the large Ring-billed Gull flock on the lake.
