SUMMARY:Turkey Trot Walk at Hayden Woods
DESCRIPTION:Work off the excesses of your Thanksgiving dinner by joining CLC on  its annual Turkey Trot\nwalk.

Meet at the trail head behind 45-\n55 Hayden Avenue. Heavy rain or snow cancels.\nLeader: Keith Ohmart ~ kohmart@verizon.net

SUMMARY:Woodcock Walk at Dunback Meadow
DESCRIPTION:Join us on a search for the elusive American woodcock\, whose unusual mating behavior provides a rare opportunity to observe this species. In early spring\, woodcocks can be found in wet meadows performing their courtship ritual. We will listen for the male’s distinctive “peent” call while on the ground and then his “wing twitter” as he spirals upward. He will then zigzag back down toward the ground while giving his flight song. This display is repeated\, so if we are lucky we will see quite a show. Meet at the Allen St. entrance to Dunback meadow. Be sure to dress in layers and bring binoculars. REGISTRATION REQUIRED (See below). \nRain Date March 24\, 6:30-8 pm; If conditions are uncertain\, please check the CLC website at clclex.org. \nLeader: Dianna Queheillalt\, clclexington8@gmail.com \n  \nFill out my online form.
