This morning while strolling through the Fletcher Wildlife Garden in Ottawa, I flushed an American Woodcock. The bird was foraging on limited bare ground beneath the large mature pine/spruce stand just north of the large feeder. The bird was subsequently flushed several times by other passers-by.
Directions: The Fletcher Wildlife Garden, maintained by the Ottawa Field-Naturalists' Club, is located off Prince of Wales Drive north of Baseline Road and just south of the Dominion Arboretum.
