SUMMARY:Woodcock Sit (WAITING LIST)
DESCRIPTION:RSVPs have exceeded our capacity\, so we are placing anyone who RSVPs at this point on a waiting list. Thank you for your interest in the Woodcock Sit; please keep an eye on GMI’s events page for more nature events. \nEnjoy an evening to observe one of the highlights of early spring migration. American Woodcock will be showing off their dazzling mating displays at dusk. \nAmerican Woodcock are known for their elaborate courtship displays. Males will venture out into open areas after sunset and set up a display area. Birds will initially call out with their “peent” calls to announce their presence to other Woodcock. Males will then take flight circling up to 100 meters high with a combination of specialized wings creating a twittering sound as well as vocal chirping. Birds then descend in a rapid circling motion to land in the exact spot they started from. Displays can last as long as 30 minutes. \nPlease arrive promptly and bring a chair so you can relax and see the show! RSVP to lori@greatmarshinstitute.org to attend. This will enable us to communicate about any weather-related changes and plan for the full number of attendees. \n$5 Suggested Donation. Donate through Paypal\, Venmo\, or make a cash donation at the door.
