Woodcocks at Twilight

As the sun begins to set, the stage is ready for the woodcock to perform his courtship flight. This unusual bird, also known as the Timberdoodle, performs an air-born ritual accompanied by a variety of unique sounds. It is a spring tradition not to be missed. We will then walk or drive to a courtship field, weather permitting, to watch and listen for woodcock. Dress warmly, wear boots and dark clothes, and bring a blanket or chair to sit on. Please be prepared to sit quietly outdoors for 30 minutes.
