Join us on March 23 near Coalton, OH (Jackson County) to experience the timberdoodle (a.k.a. American woodcock). This odd and amazing bird appears each spring to perform it’s mating ritual the Sky Dance. Aldo Leopold dubbed it the Sky Dance in his Sand County Almanac essay.
Learn about the life-history of this amazing bird from wildlife biologists from the Ruffed Grouse Society, the National Wild Turkey Federation and the ODNR-Division of Wildlife. Take a leisurely walk and visit the habitats that the timberdoodle frequents. Enjoy and the Sky Dance as the sun sets and the timberdoodle takes the stage (assuming the weather and the birds cooperate).
