Woodcock Walk

Delaware-Otsego Audubon Society, in partnership with Otsego Land Trust presents the annual Spring Woodcock Walk. Join Charlie Scheim and Sandy Bright at the Otsego Land Trust’s Parslow Road Conservation Area at 127 Parslow Road, Hartwick, to observe the courting displays of the woodcocks that inhabit this protected property. In our experience, these displays occur shortly after sunset, which is around 7:43 p.m. that day. We’ll meet in the parking lot at 7:15pm and take the trail to the woodcocks’ location. The path is fairly level, although at times quite uneven, and may be muddy and wet. Total distance will be about .5 mile; the second half of the walk will be in darkness, so it’s advisable to a bring a flashlight. Note that there are no restroom facilities at the parking lot. Attendance for this program is limited to 20 people; registration is required.
