March 28: SPRING DANCE OF THE WOODCOCK

Come watch these adorable little birds celebrate spring and dance and sing their way into the hearts of their potential mates!

DATE: Saturday, March 28
TIME: 6:30PM Until Dark
PLACE: Meet at the parking lot located up the hill of the driveway entrance located at 1091 Canal Road, just west of the Griggstown Causeway.

The American woodcock--a long-billed woodland bird that probes in the soft wet soil and eats its weight in worms in a day--returns in early spring to mate and nest. Males of the species begin calling and performing an aerial courtship display flight when the afternoon shadows are almost gone.
