The DLC ventured forth in March to search for the elusive yet spectacular American Woodcock.
On a late March evening, dozens of birders gathered at the Buttercup Farm Audubon Sanctuary in Stanfordville to observe one of the great rites of spring - the mating dance of the American Woodcock. Holding quietly still with binoculars at the ready, participants first heard the call of nearby Woodcocks and then marveled as the males swooped and dove in the cold night air, attempting to attract a mate. The magical evening was just the latest in what has become an annual tradition fo rthe DLC and one of our most popular events.
