Woodcocks and Snipes in Captivity?

I was just wondering if anyone knows if there ever have been or are any snipes or woodcocks in captivity in the United States.

American Woodcock have certainly been kept, but I don’t have the details to hand. Possibly Cincinnati Zoo?

Columbus kept American Woodcock within the last couple decades. Not sure when they stopped keeping them but they certainly don't have them anymore.
