We have an added attraction for Monday night's Woodcock walk. A North Arlington resident recently donated the remains of a woodcock that flew into a relative's window, in hopes that it could be used for educational purposes.

We will bring the frozen bird with us on Monday night in case anyone is interested in seeing what a woodcock looks like up-close.  As you may know, these birds are often seen (and heard) around dusk, and "good looks" at the bird can be hard to come by.

We don't want to creep anyone out, but we thought it would be better for folks to look at the bird and appreciate its beauty than to dispose of the bird.  (You don't have to look.)

All other birds seen on the walk will be alive  (we hope!).
