Where

Canoe Creek State Park Education Center

6:00 PM – dark. Meet at the RANGER STATION.

We will walk around Canoe Creek SP in search of “the shorebird that abandoned the shore”, the American Woodcock. Early spring is the perfect time to locate this incredible bird as it performs its elaborate displays at dusk and dawn around wet forested areas. At this location, we had several American Woodcocks displaying last year, and several flew right over us!

WHAT TO BRING: binoculars, comfortable walking shoes, drink, or snack if desired.

If you have any questions or need more information, please contact JVAS Field Trip Chair Michael Kensinger at (814) 505-3410 or email him at [email protected]. If inclement weather arrives this day, please contact Michael to verify that this event is still taking place for the sake of everyone’s safety and well-being. Field Trip Chair reserves the right to cancel at the last minute should unexpected dangerous weather patterns occur. We hope to see you there!!!!
