Salutations, I present you with another excellent field trip opportunity. There is a great location in Carver Park Reserve for viewing American Woodcock courtship flights, I invite you to join me on the evening of either April 2nd or April 9th. Participants will have a chance to learn about the American Woodcock and its unique courtship ritual, likely experiencing it for themselves. It is not uncommon to see or hear owls during the twilight hour, we have had Short-Eared Owl fly by during this event in the past. Barred and Great Horned are residents in the park, Long-Eared and Saw Whet owls are known to overwinter and use the park as a migratory stop.
We will meet at 7:45PM each of the two evenings at the Grimm Farm parking lot on Grimm Road. Registration is required and limited to 10 participants.
