Woodcock (and Rail) Sit
2024-03-10 18:30 - 19:30
Due to the inclement weather predicted, we have rescheduled this event for Sunday, March 10th. We apologize for any inconvenience!
The Great Marsh Institute will host its first Woodcock (and Rail) Sit on Sunday, March 10th!
Come join us to enjoy an evening to observe one of the highlights of early spring migration. American Woodcock will be showing off their dazzling mating displays. Oh, and a good possibility of singing Virginia Rails as well!
American 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.
Please arrive promptly and bring a chair so you can relax and see the show! RSVP to lori@greatmarshinstitute.org to attend.
$5 Suggested Donation. Donate through Paypal, Venmo, or make a cash donation at the door.
