We’re sorry, this field trip is now full. Scroll down to join the waiting list.

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.
