Saturday evening, March 7, the Refuge Friends will offer a unique birding experience for the whole family, Peent! An evening with woodcocks.
Most outings aren’t focused on just one animal, but woodcocks are so neat that they get a whole night all their own.
Just what is a “Peent”? It’s the sound made by male woodcocks while performing their courtship ritual flights. Join us at the Columbia Mine Preserve main parking lot on Patoka River National Wildlife Refuge at 5:30 pm CST for a brief presentation on the woodcock. Then we’ll walk Timberdoodle Trail and hope the woodcocks are in the mood to put on a show…
