The American Woodcock is a remarkable bird: It is in the sandpiper
family but lives in woodlands, often far from beaches. The male
performs an incredible crepuscular aerial display and song early in
the spring, soon after the snow melts in the northern U.S. There are a
few places around New York City where they perform this display. Let’s
go look for it (and bats and owls and other critters, too) at Floyd
Bennett Field. Bring binoculars, comfortable shoes, a headlamp or
flashlight, and a snack for a post-woodcock picnic. Transport by
passenger van included. Limited to 12. $92 (64)
