SUMMARY:Searching for Lead-backed Salamanders
DESCRIPTION:Join Jake for a chance to learn about the secret life of the Eastern Lead-backed Salamander. Although this salamander species is one of the most abundant vertebrates in forest habitats throughout the Northeast\, they are rarely spotted on your average walk through the woods.

As we roll logs and stones searching for these fascinating critters\, we’ll learn about their life underground\, as well as their importance in forest ecosystems. Please dress for wet/muddy conditions. \nProgram Leader: Jake Kushner\, SOFO Environmental Educator\, Reptile & Amphibian Specialist \nThis program is for all ages. \nFor non-members\, there is a $15 fee for adults and a $10 fee for children for this program.

SUMMARY:In Search of the American Woodcock
DESCRIPTION:The American Woodcock is well camouflaged with brown dappled leaf tones\, and its foraging behavior keeps the bird’s movements close to the ground making it hard to spot during the daytime. But at dawn and again at dusk during late winter and early spring these birds really put on a show. Join SOFO for a short walk through the field and forest of Poxabogue County Park at dusk. As darkness falls\, we will listen for the American Woodcock male’s “peent” call and watch for his aerial acrobatics as he tries to woo a female. Limited enrollment. \nWalk Leader: Melanie Meade\, SOFO Education Director \nThis program is for adults\, teens\, and children ages 10+. \nFor non-members\, there is a $15 fee for adults and a $10 fee for children for this program. This program fee will also provide non-members with free admission to the museum on a day of their choice. Members are free. Advanced reservations are required for all events. \n  \n Sign Up Here!\n

SUMMARY:In Search of the American Woodcock
DESCRIPTION:The American Woodcock is well camouflaged with brown dappled leaf tones\, and its foraging behavior keeps the bird’s movements close to the ground making it hard to spot during the daytime. But at dawn and again at dusk during late winter and early spring these birds really put on a show. Join SOFO for a short walk through the field and forest of Poxabogue County Park at dusk. As darkness falls\, we will listen for the American Woodcock male’s “peent” call and watch for his aerial acrobatics as he tries to woo a female. Limited enrollment. \nWalk Leader: Melanie Meade\, SOFO Education Director \nThis program is for adults\, teens\, and children ages 10+. \nFor non-members\, there is a $15 fee for adults and a $10 fee for children for this program. This program fee will also provide non-members with free admission to the museum on a day of their choice. Members are free. Advanced reservations are required for all events. \n  \n Sign Up Here!\n

SUMMARY:Alewife Trail Walk (0.5 mile) with Peconic Baykeeper\, Peter Topping
DESCRIPTION:Streams and rivers along the East Coast once “ran silver” every spring as alewives and other diadromous fish made their annual spawning migrations from saltwater to freshwater.

Along the way\, we will learn about the history of these threatened and ecologically important fish as well as the efforts being made to protect their future on Long Island. This will also be a great opportunity to see osprey\, herons\, and egrets so bring binoculars! Ticks may be present\, please take tick precautions. Limited enrollment.\n \nWalk Leader: Peter Topping\, Peconic Baykeeper \nThis FREE program is for all ages.
