Woodcock Walk – Daubenspeck Community Nature Park
Woodcock Walk – Daubenspeck Community Nature Park
Join ABAS Board member Brian Cunningham for an evening walk at Daubenspeck Community Nature Park (DCNP), a great spot to view displaying American Woodcocks.
Woodcocks have a very acrobatic mating display that they perform at dusk known as the sky dance. While waiting for woodcocks, we will check the prairie and nearby woods for birds that may be going to roost in the park for the evening.

An indoor presentation will take place inside the Taylor Center at 7:30 pm for those interested in knowing more about the life history of this bird.
