Discover the secret life of the American Woodcock!

This Saturday, Feb. 7, Our LMNNE Secretary, Louisiana Master Naturalist Suzanne Laird‑Dartez will again bring her lively, illustrated talk to the Black Bayou Lake Conservation Learning Center—and then will leads us into the field for a Woodcock Walk alongside her fearless bird‑dog Quill.

The adventure begins right after the short public LMN‑NE Q1 meeting at 12 pm. Bring your own packed lunch and walking attire. We’ll meet at noon at the Black Bayou Lake NWR Conservation Learning Center for a short public Board meeting then Suzanne will present for about 45 minutes on Woodcocks, then we’ll set out to find them in the field!

Photographers among us may want to practice snap shooting – these birds are fast!
