Public transit users: This location is a half-mile walk from the Manhasset LIRR station. John Turner will present “Goatsuckers of Long Island – Nighthawk, Whip-poor-will and Chuck-will’s-widow” The three "goatsucker" species found on Long Island comprise one of the more interesting groups of native birds. This program will explore basic aspects of their biology and ecology, and detail efforts to better understand their overall population numbers here, including the "Frank Melville Stone Bridge Nighthawk Watch". You'll also learn the folklore behind why they are called goatsuckers.
