Interested participants will have an opportunity to witness the fantastic courtship dance of the American Woodcock at the Bent of the River Audubon Center. Also known as “timberdoodle\,” the male woodcock flies to his singing grounds at sunset and gives a short\, high-pitched insect-like single-note call\, which he may repeat as many as 200 times in five minutes. Then he flies in a low circle about 200 feet in diameter\, then climbs higher and higher\, the diameter of their circle decreasing\, until he is 200 to 300 feet in the air. His rapid wing beats create a musical sound as he climbs. At the apex of his flight\, he sings a variable series of liquid notes. \n\nProgram Fee: $15.00\nAccessible bathroom on site\nFor questions\, please contact Allison Middlemass at allison.middlemass@audubon.org or 203-405-9115\nRSVP:  Woodcock Walk | Audubon Connecticut

SUMMARY:CT Audubon\, RTP Estuary Center: Shorebird Sit
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, April 11\, 2026\n1:00pm – 3:00pm \nGreat Island Boat Launch\nOld Lyme\, CT \nMost of North America’s shorebird species winter in South & Central America\, heading north to breed in the high Arctic\, while others spend the winter here in Connecticut. Early spring is when many of these species start their long-distance migrations\, making it a great time of year to head to the coast. Join us as we look for many of our shorebird species at some of the best spots around southeastern Connecticut and learn how you can help these charismatic birds. A bird sit involves little to no walking\, instead focusing on a single location and letting the birds come to you. Exposure to wind\, sun\, and cold is possible depending on the weather. No restrooms on site. \nMembers: $13\nNon-Members: $18 \nRegister here: Shorebird Sit – The Connecticut Audubon Society
