[SEMCO] Search for Whip-poor-wills and Horseshoe Crabs this Weekend with Wellfleet Bay!

[Christine Harris Bates]

Join Wellfleet Bay staff this Friday and Saturday for the following programs:

In Search of Whip-poor-wills
Explore the moors of Marconi in evening in search of goatsuckers, also known as whip-poor-wills. Listen for their plaintive call and learn about the fascinating natural history of this insect-eating, nocturnal bird. Melissa Lowe, Wellfleet Bay's education coordinator, will lead this walk around the Marconi area within the Cape Cod National Seashore. This area is a great spot for woodcocks and saw-whet owls, too!

In Search of Horseshoe Crabs
Join Sanctuary Director Bob Prescott at Priscilla Landing in Orleans where we'll search for horseshoe crabs coming up on the beach to spawn at high tide, and talk about their behavior, biology, conservation, and management.
