Woodcock Walk
Webster
The American Woodcock spends the daylight hours
hidden away in woodlands. By night, it comes out
into open fields where males dance high in the sky,
with “chippering, twittering, bubbling sounds,” according to renowned bird expert Kenn Kaufman. Its
aim, of course, is to attract females. In between dances, it makes a sound that Kaufman describes as a
“beeping call,” while other sources call it a “peent”
sound.
Join Shirley Shaw and Carolyn Ragan at the Big
Field at the corner of Vosburg and Drumm Roads in
Webster, weather permitting.
Advanced registration is required so can we notify
you if weather will cause a cancellation. To sign up,

Dress warmly. Bring a folding chair and flashlight. A
short walk will take place to the best display area,
and participants may also choose to take a short walk
to a pond to listen to the sounds of frogs before the
woodcocks begin their display.
