Spring is breeding season, a time when the normally timid and elusive male woodcock throws off all his inhibitions in an attempt to attract a mate. Waiting for just the right conditions, he moves to the edge of the forest to prepare for his extraordinary courtship sky dance. Join a naturalist to learn all about this shy showoff and just what makes him the star of the show. Then head to the trail for a short hike to see this amazing avian performance. Ages 7 and older. Registration required by Wednesday, March 25: 815-722-4121. https://anc.apm.activecommunities.com/fpdwc/activity/search/detail/9939?onlineSiteId=0&from_original_cui=true
