To hear the woodcocks at Walnut Creek, park just west of the dog park next
to the picnic area. The woodcocks are in the grassy hillside just north of
the parking lot. You hear them just after dusk and sunset. There is a low
trail on the hillside that goes east paralleling the road. Just walk along
that or the road.
