Wild and Wacky Woodcock Walk for Ages 6+ (Registration Required).
Wild and Wacky Woodcock Walk on Tuesday, April 17, from 7 – 8:30 pm. Join Albany Pine Bush Preserve Commission staff for our annual hike through the Pine Bush to watch the elaborate flight displays of the American Woodcock. During the mating season in early spring, male woodcocks perform amazing flight displays at dusk. Males circle high in the evening sky then plummet to the earth in a series of zigzags and whistling wings. Remember to bring your binoculars! We will start inside and then continue outside for a 0.9-mile hike. Ages 6+. Free! Location: Albany Pine Bush Discovery Center, 195 New Karner Road, Albany, NY. Fee: Free! Registration required.
