Woodcocks Gone Wild!

Join us for our annual evening outing for the sky-dancing of the American Woodcock. Witness the spectacular show as this cryptic and secretive species erupts in a swirling and twirling display of sound and flight. This year, our outing will take place in Durham, where we have found superb viewing opportunities in a peaceful setting.

With the new location, well avoid the need to caravan, and well only need to take a short walk on a paved driveway and/or mowed trails, depending on the exact location we choose to assemble. Feel free to bring a folding chair. As usual, well start with a short talk about woodcocks and their ecology before getting in position for the sunset.

This year, we will be requesting pre-registration. This will allow us to email folks specific directions shortly before the event and communicate efficiently should it need to be postponed due to weather.
