Join avid birder, Nic Salick, for an evening hike where we'll look for Nightjars in the prime of their mating season. These are nocturnal, owl-like birds that don't build nests and have some funky behaviors. $10 per person. Ages 12+. You'll learn to identify two species of Nightjars, the Common Nighthawk and the Eastern Whip-poor-will, discuss their unique habits, and with some luck, be serenaded by their song after sunset. While we will try not to use flashlights or headlamps during the program, feel free to have one along to help you get back to the lodge when we conclude. Better yet, use a red light! Please note: Part of this program will take place outdoors and involves pedestrian travel on uneven, dirt trails. Please plan accordingly and leave your pets at home.
The Crescent Farmers Market will be the last Saturday of every month beginning on April 27th and ending on September 28th from 9AM - 1PM. We have a variety of vendors lined up. There will be produce, canned goods, bakery items, various craft vendors, food trucks, drinks, live music, and more! This event is very family-friendly and is a great idea for a Saturday outing! There are a few local restaurants including Henry's Diner to grab some breakfast or lunch at afterwards.

Join avid birder, Nic Salick, for an evening guided hike where you'll catch one of the most beautiful sunsets around while learning about local birds that call Iowa's beautiful Loess Hills home. $10 per person. Ages 12+. This evening trail walk will offer birders and nature observers of all skill levels a chance to see the breeding birds of the Loess Hills. This time of year presents a great opportunity to see birds when they’re most active. During peak breeding season for most birds in our area, this outing offers participants a great opportunity to learn about the behaviors and songs of birds firsthand. Nic is hopeful we’ll see a broad suite of species, likely including Indigo Buntings, Rose-breasted Grosbeaks, Baltimore Orioles, wrens, and maybe, finger’s crossed, Scarlet Tanagers! While we’ll focus our efforts on birds, we’ll talk about aspects of habitat, land management, and conservation at large. As always, there's no better place to catch a sunset than at Hitchcock!
