Each spring a wonderful species of “shore” bird returns from their wintering grounds to nest near the wetlands and forests of the Valley. Most of the they are incredibly secretive, well-camouflaged and difficult to see. But during the mating season the males perform a beautiful sky dance at sunset; to attract a mate. Dan will explain the life cycle of the American Woodcock and then take us out to see the mating dance! Bring binoculars and dress warm for the evening chill! We may be carpooling to the dancing ground depending on where the action is this year!
