Woodcock Courtship Flight at Owl Woods Field Trip – Registration Opens April 2, 2022

Owl Woods 349 Manitou Beach Road, Rochester, NY, United States

This will be an evening trip for woodcock courtship flight. If you’ve never seen this spectacle, prepare to be amazed: birds call noisily from the ground in grassy fields before spiraling rapidly up high, descending back down in a zigzagging noisy frenzy, only to start the cycle anew. An amazing sight!
