SUMMARY:Woodcock Walk - Hickory Creek
DESCRIPTION:As the sun sets\, the male woodcock makes his way to the edge of a field and prepares for his extraordinary courtship performance. Normally timid and elusive\, the woodcock is readily observed during the early spring breeding season\, when he leaves the safety and cover of the forest to attract a mate. We will spend the first part of the evening discovering just how amazing this bird is\, then hike to view the courtship flights of the male. \nFee: Free! Age: Ages 7 or older. Registration required by Wednesday\, March 13\, by calling 815-722-4121 or online. \nBe sure to dress for the weather as we will stand in place for a bit to listen for the calls and look for the flight of the woodcock. Meet at the Hickory Hollow Shelter\, which can be accessed from the second parking lot furthest from the LaPorte Road Access entrance. \nThe hike will be approximately 1 mile on both paved and natural surface trails over uneven terrain. Anyone who requires an auxiliary aid or service to participate in this program should submit a request online no later than 48 hours before the program. \n
