“Peent... Peent!” The American Woodcock is so expertly camouflaged that
it quite nearly vanishes when it rests on the woodland floor. Not so
during the breeding season. In the early spring, the males put on
elaborate flights, dances and unique calls. We’ll scour the “dancing
grounds” near Shawnee Prairie on Thursday, March 12th at 7:30pm to
attempt to catch a glimpse at this annual spring ritual. This
hike is free, but pre-registration is requested. Please call the
Nature Center at 937.548.0165 to register. For more information
on this and other programs offered by the Darke County Parks, visit our
