Irwin Prairie 4-15-2 Deb, CP, and I walked Irwin. We were there from 7:00 to 9:00 P.M. We wanted to see the flight of the woodcock. We saw a woodcock fly by us, but we never got a show. We heard one peenting in the distance. The spring peepers got very loud the darker it got. We saw a couple bats and some common snipe flying about. It was warm evening. The temps were still 75-80. We had a record high temp of 85. It was quiet at Irwin. We saw four turkey vultures, a sharp-shinned hawk, and a kestrel. I heard a field sparrow.
