Thursday's chance of rain is at 90%; so if it is rainy look to Monday the
23rd.
The original letter had the wrong rain date.

Subject: [mou-net] Birds and Beers, Woodcock Hunt, Lebanon Hills, April 19,
Dakota County
This is our annual Woodcock Tailgate Party and we head out to Lebanon
Hills Regional Park, have some laughs and then 15 minutes after sunset try
to watch the woodcock display. The woodcocks start their display about
15 - 20 minutes after sunset, which means they will start around 8:20pm.
Since the display area is next to the visitor center at the park, we'll
meet there starting about 6:30pm and have an old fashioned tailgate
party-you can come early to mingle or come closer to the magic hour.
Bring your own food and beverages and we'll laugh until it's Woodcock
Time. The park closes at 10pm, so this gives us plenty of time to get
some great birding done. Some years we've had great horned owls show up
and still got great looks at the timberdoodles (aka woodcocks). The park
does allow alcohol.
Recommended to bring: lawn chair and boots, might be a little muddy,
insect spray (ticks could be a possibility). Dress in layers, it could be
warm when the sun is out and gets cool quickly when it's dark. Binoculars
and a flashlight are a good idea too.
Rain date is April 23th.
Birds and Beers is an informal gathering of birders of all abilities-if
you're interested in birds, you're invited. You can meet other
birders-maybe find a carpool buddy, ask about where to find target birds,
share cool research projects you might be working on, ask a bird feeding
question, share life lists, share some digiscoping tips, promote your
blog-the sky is the limit. It's low key and it's fun.
