  3. Woodcock Walks 3.9 and 3.16

    Mar. 09, 2024 6:15pm

    Join local birding enthusiast, Austin Langdon, and OSU Extension Educator, Laura Stanton, as we search for woodcocks. The American woodcock is a plump, well-camouflaged shorebird that favors wooded areas near open fields, making Miller Ecological Park’s prairie loop an ideal habitat. These ground-dwelling birds are rarely seen during daytime but are well known for their elaborate courtship display performed at dusk in the spring. During this display, these birds fly up in swooping circles, chirping and twittering high in the sky! This is a don’t miss event for the whole family!
