There are many good ones to see. Orion and Leo are particularly good, as are some of the ones that you can see all year round, like Ursa Major. If you go to the site at the link below, and enter your location, it will tell you what you can see from where you are.

In March 7 pm is a great time to see the bright winter constellations at their best. Orion is on the meridian with Sirius under it and to the left (from the northern hemisphere), Procyon forming a triangle with Sirius and Betelgeuse and Gemini (Castor and Pollux) above them. In the East is Leo with the first-magnitude star Regulus. In the north-east the Plough can be seen, standing on its handle.

By 11 pm Orion is almost setting and Leo is on the meridian, and another bright star Arcturus in Bootes is in the east high up. Low down in the south-east is Spica in Virgo and just now Mars is nearby, looking very red and getting brighter.

So plenty to see tonight if your sky is clear, and binoculars will show the sights better. 7 x 50 is the best size, or if they are too heavy 7 x 40 is also good.

Ones like Leo, Libra, Virgo, Corvus and others are particulary well positioned for seeing from the northern hemisphere in April. There are also ones that you can see all year long, like Ursa Major or Cassiopeia amongst many others. See the website at the related link below, and go to the Sky Chart link in it. That will show you what is visible at different times from your location.
