Woodcock Watch!
2023-03-03 18:15 - 19:15 (America/New_York) | Glenford Fort Preserve, 11995 State Route 757, Glenford, Ohio, 43739
We will be hosting a Woodcock Watch on Friday, March 3 at 6:15pm at Glenford Fort Earthworks (11995 State Route 757, Glenford).
With any luck, we will see and hear their unique courtship and aerial displays. But it will require us to be a good and quiet audience. There will be a short (2-3 minute) walk from the parking lot for optimal viewing. Some mud may be encountered so please dress for the weather and ground conditions. Bring a chair or blanket to sit on if desired and a flashlight for the walk back.
The program will last approximately an hour. We hope to see you there!
