from 7:00-8:30 p.m.
CCE's Agroforestry Resource Center, Acra
$5.00 per person or $10.00 per familyTimberdoodle is a knick-name for the American woodcock (Scolopax minor), a ground-nesting migratory bird with a spectacular courtship ritual. Snickerdoodles are delicious snacks that participants will enjoy before we set out on a timberdoodle hunt! This program will include an indoor session where we will learn about the life history of woodcocks and their importance on the Northeastern landscape (and eat some snickerdoodles). At twilight, we’ll head over to the open fields at the Siuslaw Model Forest to observe the fantastic courtship flight of the male woodcock. Presenter: Liz LoGiudice, Extension Educator
