I had Ring-necked Pheasant tracks in the snow at this location two years 
ago. There were quite a few tracks, but I was unable to locate any birds. A 
week later I returned with a friend and flushed one rooster. No problems 
with motorbikes, but there were gun shots from under the bridge. Since then 
I have chosen to look around Southwest Area Park
