UPDATE: We will meet rain or shine at the Visitor Center. If the weather is favorable, we will head out for a walk after the video presentation and tutorial. The informative session will help folks set out on their own to find this spring wonder during a warm calm evening.

Join State Park Naturalist Jennifer Murray to observe the quirky American Woodcock Courtship Display during dusk at the preserve. We will first meet in the Community Room at the Visitor Center for a quick overview of this fascinating mating ritual, then meet in the upper parking lot before heading on trail to search for this normally elusive bird. Inclement weather cancels. This family-friendly program is FREE but now requires registration. Please call 631-315-5475 to reserve your spot.
