Woodcock Spring Ritual April 14, 2011

Sometimes called the timberdoodle, this curious member of the sandpiper family performs a ground and aerial courtship display that is truly a ritual of spring. We'll begin with a short indoor program focusing on natural history and behavior, and then we'll go outside to the "breeding fields" to witness the male woodcock's amazing performance. Registration is required. Call 978-887-9264 for details. See http://www.massaudubon.org/catalog/listing.php?program_code=126-IP11SP2 for more information.
