DOVEKIE DAY WITH HOFFMANN BIRD CLUB

Egremont, 7:30am - 12:30pm

Join the Hoffmann Bird Club for the first Annual Dovekie Day! Beginning as an April Fools Joke, a wooden Dovekie was carved and set on Smiley’s Pond in Egremont. After a bit of confusion and skepticism, the Dovekie was retrieved and now lives to tell the tale every year. Dovekie Day is a morning of birding in search of the hidden Dovekie. The carved Dovekie will be placed on a Berkshire County water body the evening before the event. Teams will race to be the first to find the Dovekie by 12PM. Teams will get points for when they find the Dovekie and points for every bird they see along the way, with a bit of mayhem and jokes mixed in. Dovekie Day can be enjoyed on foot or easily by car and will be followed by a celebration at noon. This is not a typical “birding competition”, this is a morning of fun and laughs. Registration required! Register on the Hoffmann website here by April 2nd.
