Woodcock and Snipe Walk

  • Faville Grove Sanctuary Kiosk W7480 Prairie Lane Lake Mills, WI, 53551 United States (map)

Please note, our Woodcock Walk field trips are in high demand, so we ask that you register for only one so more people can participate.

Meet at the kiosk along Prairie Lane for an evening spent enjoying the unique spring displays of woodcock and snipe. Be prepared to be fascinated by the woodcock’s acrobatic flight, and to learn about the natural history of one of Aldo Leopold’s favorite birds. Binoculars are recommended.
