Watching the courtship display of the Woodcock is one of the highlights of spring birding. Thorn Creek Nature Center is offering this evening event led by expert birder Sue Zelek. This field trip is sponsored by Thorn Creek Audubon.

We hope you can join the group to look for usually shy male Woodcocks emerging at dusk to perform their amazing aerial displays to attract a mate.

For details and to register, go the event page on the Forest Preserve District of Will County website: Woodcock Watch. Registration required by Monday, March 22. For ages 13 and older.
