Woodcock Dance
There’s something about the peculiar, crepuscular ‘peeent’ of a woodcock that captures the imagination. It’s such a distinctive sound of spring, yet many people hear it and never find out what it is! This program begins with an indoor session at The Sperlak Gallery & Sculpture Garden, a working farm, studio, and nature sanctuary of artist Stan Sperlak.
The indoor presentation will be delivered by Tom Reed, CMBO’s Migration Monitoring Coordinator, and will focus on the life of the American Woodcock in Cape May County. Following the presentation, everyone will be invited to enjoy a spread of hors d’oeuvres and local wine, before heading outside with Tom to try to spot this enigmatic bird.
Rain/weather date for this event will be Sunday March 15th
COST: $40 members, $50 nonmembers. PREREGISTRATION REQUIRED
