Ferry Bluff is one of the prettiest places in southern Wisconsin. It is also one of the few places to consistently hear the call of the Eastern Whip-poor-will. If you miss hearing this bird on a summer night or have always wanted to hear them, then this outing is for you! Join us for a short hike to the top of Ferry Bluff where we'll sit and wait for the whip-poor-wills to sing, usually about 30 minutes after sunset.

Bring water, a snack and something to sit on if you like. Meet at the trailhead at 8 pm. You must be able to hike up a steep hill for about 15 minutes to participate in this event.
