About this Event

Love is in the Air with the American Woodcock Courtship Display Extravaganza! This outing promises to be an egg-cellent adventure filled with fluttering feathers, nasally PEENTS, and more puns than you can shake a tail feather at! Let's get ready to rumble in the underbrush! We'll venture into the heart of woodcock territory ( which is MUDDY!) to witness their legendary mating displays. Get ready for some tail-shaking, sky-dancing action that'll leave you in awe! We will walk approximately .5 km to the top of the hill ( we do not go down the hill) or as far as everyone is comfortable, shortly after sunset to immerse ourselves in the hilarity that is the American Woodcock. This is our most popular event and has no cap even if the event says sold out please join the waitlist and we will release more tickets, having a ticket allows us to track numbers and ensure we are waiting for folx. If you have any questions, concerns or accessibility requests please reach out.
