About the event
Pre-registration is required. Each spring, American Woodcocks return to prairies to perform their iconic and elaborate courtship rituals. Join members of the Feminist Bird Club–Madison Chapter to look and listen for woodcocks as they perform their evening flight displays. Learn about what makes these shorebirds unique, discover where to find them, and get acquainted with their buzzy calls and flight display. This outing takes place near dusk, when woodcocks begin performing their evening "sky dance." This event is weather dependent. Binoculars will be provided for those interested, but this event does not require binoculars to enjoy these unique and wonderful birds!
