Woodcock Search and Sneak-up
The American Woodcock is a shorebird that has adapted to upland habitats. In the spring males return to open fields to sing and do an aerial flight display to attract females. We will search for and try to sneak up on singing males and learn about this once-a-year mating behavior. Partial funding for this class provided through a grant from Stewart’s Shops Holiday Match Program.
Location: Meeting House
Instructor: George Steele, nature educator
Members: $5/person, $15/family; non-members: $15/person, $25/family.
