Join us for a nighttime birding hike with Valparaiso University Biology Professor Dr. Laurie Eberhardt, a Behavioral Ecologist who has studied plant-bird interactions.April is migratory season, so it is a fleeting opportunity to see rare species passing through. We will listen as birds sing their evening songs, tuck in to roost, and finally end with the night birds coming out.
A species of particular interest we may see or hear is the American woodcock (Scolopax minor), a somewhat uncommon, primarily ground dwelling bird. Many areas of Gabis Arboretum have been restored with the intent of attracting the American woodcock.
