 arly spring on the prairie is the perfect time to encounter an elusive nat
 ive of Illinois. Join TNI educators for a serene walk as we listen for the
  mating calls and subtle movements of the well-camouflaged American Woodco
 ck\, also affectionately known as the Timber Doodle.\n\nAbout the American
  Woodcock\n\nThese medium-sized shorebirds\, often referred to as Bog Suck
 ers\, possess:\n\n 	A long beak ideal for digging up earthworms\n 	Short\,
  stout legs for navigating the forest floor\n\nWhile they are seldom seen 
 or heard\, early spring brings the opportunity to catch the distinctive bu
 zzy “peent” of male Woodcocks calling to attract females\, along with 
 the whistling flutter of their wings during their elaborate mating display
 s.\n\nEvent Details\n\nThis hike will feature:\n\n 	A slow\, quiet journey
  to the edge of the prairie\n 	A period of stillness to listen intently fo
 r these shy birds\n\nGiven that soft voices and careful movements enhance 
 our chances of spotting and hearing them\, this nighttime program is suita
 ble for children aged 9 and older.\n\nWhat to Bring:\n\n 	A flashlight wit
 h a red filter (optional)\n 	Warm clothing for a potentially cool evening 
 outdoors\n\nThe hike will be flat and easy\, though some areas may have un
 even terrain.\n\nCost: $10 per person (members: Free)
