Woodcock Sky Dance at Dam No. 4

This trip is full and no longer accepting reservations.

Join CAS for an early evening woodcock search at Dam No. 4. With luck, we’ll watch the enchanting sky dance of these giant-bumblebee-shaped birds.

On this outing we will try to sneak up on some displaying woodcock in a woodland opening. You can stay on the trail or you might want to wade into the grass for a better view. We will be staying still waiting for the birds to display - so dress warm. Boots are a good idea.

Time: 7:00PM – 8:30PM

Meeting Spot: We will meet on the North side of Devon on Seminary Ave and cross Devon into the preserve as a group. Parking is available on S. Seminary Avenue north of Devon.

Accessibility: This trip involves crossing a busy street and then walking a short distance on a primitive footpath.

Trip Leader: Judy Pollock

Capacity: 10
