Learn about another amazing avian resident of the Norman Bird Sanctuary! Did you know this little bird is actually a shorebird that lives in the forest? We will go for a twilight walk and learn more in an indoor presentation.
“Superbly camouflaged against the leaf litter, the brown-mottled American Woodcock walks slowly along the forest floor, probing the soil with its long bill in search of earthworms. Unlike its coastal relatives, this plump little shorebird lives in young forests and shrubby old fields across eastern North America. Its cryptic plumage and low-profile behavior make it hard to find except in the springtime at dawn or dusk, when the males show off for females by giving loud, nasal peent calls and performing dazzling aerial displays.”
This program is appropriate for ages 8 and older.
