Join Jim Lafley as we observe the unique courtship rituals of the American Woodcock. We will listen for their unique "peents" and may see them in their "sky dance" flight in the low evening light. Robins, Canada Geese, Vultures and Blackbirds may also be seen and heard. The distance we'll travel is very short; the terrain is through an uneven field without a defined trail. Park at the Easthampton Community Garden parking lot on Park Hill Rd. Tick protection is advised. Please note there are no facilities at this location. Questions? Email Jim at jimlafley@gmail.com. Limited to 10 participants. (E/M)
