Woodcock Walk March 22, 2011

Drumlin Farm's fields and woodland provide great habitat for woodcocks. Join us on this evening hike up the drumlin to view a most unusual and interesting courtship ritual. The male's display is a series of peents, twitters, and chirps as he first prances on the ground and then spirals rapidly upward, circles, and drifts down. This spectacle takes place in fields and shrubby wetlands at twilight. Bring a flashlight and binoculars if available. - - Open to anyone age 16 or older. Registration is required. Call 781-259-2200 for details. See http://www.massaudubon.org/catalog/listing.php?program_code=637-DFP11WI1 for more information.
