AERIAL ACROBATS:<br />
WOODCOCKS AND MORE!<br />
The American woodcock, with its<br />
remarkable physical adaptations and<br />
its spectacular courtship behavior,<br />
is always a treat to observe. With<br />
the first hints of spring, these small<br />
birds appear on their breeding fields.<br />
The resulting courtship display is not<br />
to be missed! After a series of nasal<br />
peent calls, the male springs into<br />
to the ground like a falling leaf, often<br />
landing at almost the exact point of<br />
takeoff. During this program, we<br />
expect to observe this impressive<br />
display and discuss the many unique<br />
adaptations of this unlikely shorebird.<br />
We will also search for other earlyspring<br />
migrants that are active in the<br />
evening. Thu, Mar 16, 20<strong>17</strong> 6:30<br />
pm - 9:00 pm. Meet at Joppa Flats<br />
Education Center, One Plum Island<br />
Turnpike, Newburyport. Fee: $21.<br />
Preregistration required. For more<br />
information, call 978-462-9998<br />
for information about additional<br />
the Seacoast area are invited. Our<br />
speaker will be Tina Giarla from the<br />
Mass Coalition for the Homeless.<br />
Homelessness is not only an issue<br />
for younger adults and families but<br />
this problem is well known to older<br />
citizens, as recently evidenced in local<br />
news. All welcome, time for coffee<br />
and networking as well. Mass Senior<br />
Action Council (MSAC) is a 35 year<br />
old organization dedicated to helping<br />
seniors find their voice and work to<br />
improve lifestyle and well-being for<br />
all older citizens.<br />
