The American woodcock! Also called timberdoodles, bogsuckers, or Labrador twisters, these oddly shaped birds are famous for their mating displays. The Sky Dance, as it was called by famed naturalist Aldo Leopold, begins at twilight. Join us as we track down this elusive natural phenomenon. We’ll meet in the Nature Center where we will learn more about these fascinating creatures followed by a hike to a field where the timberdoodles regularly display. Bring outdoor clothing appropriate for the weather and a headlamp. This event is weather dependent and will be canceled if it is raining. Purchase Tickets→
