- **Event Description**: Concord: Local bird walk to see waterfowl, drive to view Woodcock display at dusk, followed by a festive dinner.About this EventJoin fellow Spark birders to welcome back the Spring breeding season. Meet at the parking lot at the Great Meadows NWR on Monsen Road on Bedford Street (Route 62) a mile north of Concord Center at 5 pm for a stroll along the dyke for Wood Ducks and other birds.We will then drive to one or two sites up nearby Virginia Road around 6 pm to await the courtship of American Woodcocks as dusk approaches. The American Woodcock is one of our most bizarre birds. It has a huge head, huge eyes and a very long bill with a flexible tip for snatching and slurping up its prey.To attract females and keep other males off its defended territory it stakes out a grassy area near the woods at dusk. It flies straight up and then circles over its real estate and usually returns to the same spot, rests a minute, then repeats. Consider bringing a flashlight as they fly up and around and return to their staging site.Next, return for a festive dinner and conversation at Peter Alden’s residence (menu below), including salad, dessert, and beverages.Dinner Menu: Lightly panko-dusted Tilapia, mashed potatoes and cheezed broccoli. Starter salad with avocado and optional cashews, fried onions and Scotch Bonnet spicy cheese. Dessert of coconut ice cream with blueberries. Beverages: seltzer, cider, beer and wine included. Take a tour of Peter’s expansive "Library of the World” and its Wildlife.All levels of birdwatching experience are welcome!Arrive: 5:00 pm, 11 Riverside Avenue, Concord MA, 01742.What to bring: Dress warmly, pending weather forecast . Bring binoculars, camera, jacket, water bottle, a snack.NOTE: Please register as soon as possible as the event is limited to 10 participants.  https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/1d543080-1bc5-11f1-92ba-d75dcaa36148-rimg-w1071-h740-dc475e30-gmir.jpg   https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/1d977b10-1bc5-11f1-b4d2-599354d605d1-rimg-w1145-h740-dca98b7d-gmir.jpg   https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/1dfb9410-1bc5-11f1-b4d2-599354d605d1-rimg-w987-h740-dc15171e-gmir.jpg   https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/1e2f7550-1bc5-11f1-92ba-d75dcaa36148-rimg-w987-h740-dc8f8d8f-gmir.jpg   https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/1e63a4b0-1bc5-11f1-b4d2-599354d605d1-rimg-w1111-h740-dc464635-gmir.jpg
