Monday, March 13, 7-830PM, Flight of the Timberdoodle at Pickering Creek Audubon Center, $5 per person
As winter breaks and spring begins to emerge the timberdoodle awakens. At dusk the male Woodcock spirals into the sky, creating a trilling sound with
its wings. Then he descends, fluttering, warbling and zigzagging back to the spot he began. This unusual mating ritual will take place in Pickering Creeks’ warm season grass meadows provide ideal habitat for this annual late winter event. Registration required by
calling 410-822-4903.
Friday, March 17, 9-11AM, Bird Explorers for Teen with Patterson Park Audubon
