American Woodcock and Birds of Prey nature walk– Freels Bend

American Woodcock and Birds of Prey nature walk– Freels Bend

Date: Saturday, February 29
Location: Meet at the parking lot behind (i.e. south) the ORISE building at the corner of Bethel Valley and Pumphouse Roads.
Time: 4:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
Leader: Vincent Pontello (TWRA), Trent Jett (ORNL)
Limit: 30 (children are allowed)


Description: The American woodcock has an elaborate flight display that can only be viewed in the twilight hours as the sun rises and sets. Join us as we catch a glimpse of these amazing birds on the Oak Ridge Reservation. In addition, we will have a chance to learn about Falconry and birds of prey. Local falconers will be on hand to teach us about hawks and falcons and demonstrate their remarkable hunting skills. Walking will be on gravel roads and through fields, not in overly steep terrain (distance < .5 mile). Participants need to have sturdy shoes and should dress in layers. A reliable flashlight or headlamp is suggested as some of the walk will be at dusk or after sunset. Recommended items include water, binoculars, field guide to birds, bug spray if needed.
No pets please.
