Woodcock Walk

Join us in search of the American Woodcock as it performs its spectacular sky dance at dusk. We will also listen for Wilson’s Snipe, Sandhill Cranes, and choruses of frogs. We will meet at Bohn Farms HRA (Habitat Restoration Area). See directions below. The terrain may be uneven, wet, and muddy depending on spring weather conditions. Rain boots or rubber knee boots may be recommended.  

Directions to Bohn Farms HRA: From Oshkosh, take Hwy 41 North to Hwy 45 North. Take the Hwy 116/County Rd GG exit toward Winneconne. Turn left onto County Rd GG/Hwy 116 South. Follow Hwy 116 through and out of Winneconne until you reach County Rd D. Turn right on County Rd D. Travel approximately 7 miles and then turn right onto County Rd B. We will meet in the parking area off to the right by Welsch Rd. Please park in the parking area or along Welsch Rd where it is safe and reasonable to do so.
