Actor Román Zaragoza, who stars as the character Sass in the CBS comedy “Ghosts,” is sharing details about his character’s struggling love life and how the show has approached incorporating Lenape culture.

“He’s a hopeless romantic. He wants to be loved. He wants to feel that love, and I think because he died so young that he still has that young heart. He’s an old soul, but young heart,” Zaragoza said in an interview with “CBS Mornings” about Sass.

Zaragoza revealed it was partially his idea for his character to be a virgin.

“We talked about it for awhile, and I pitched it because I was curious, because they were leading up to the fact that I feel like he was going to be a virgin, and then I think that something came out that he wasn’t, and I was like, ‘I think it’s funnier if he is.'”

In this week’s episode, another ghost brings back Joan, a potential love interest for Sass, who is a Lenape ghost.

“As a Native actor, it’s hard. A lot of the time, you get cast as an actor and as a consultant and you’re like, you know, I’m not Lenape. I’m not an expert on Lenape history or culture.”

Zaragoza credits the “Ghosts” showrunners for bringing someone in who is Lenape and an expert on its culture.

“Not every set does that, and I just gotta really thank Joe Port and Joe Wiseman, but we brought in Joe Baker who is the executive director of the Lenape Center … and he’s been just an incredible asset to our show,” Zaragoza said. Baker is also an enrolled member of the Delaware Tribe of Indians, according to the Lenape Center.

Beyond his character, Zaragoza joked about his height. While he stands at 5’10,” a Google search claims he’s…

CRANFORD, NJ — The American woodcock is a plump, camouflaged, adorable shorebird.

The species also known as the timberdoodle, Labrador twister, night partridge, mudbat or bog sucker, has several distinct features. It has a rotund, orange-fluff belly, long bill and short legs. It’s also recognized for its preference for damp, dense woodlands. It can be found in the eastern half of North America, including New Jersey.

Recently, experienced nature enthusiast Peter Axelrod gave a “Woodcock Talk and Walk” at Lenape Park in Cranford. He gave a PowerPoint presentation, followed by a guided outdoor experience exploring the lifestyle and behaviors of the woodcock. Twenty-one people signed up for the free event.

“They’re silent, except when they do the mating call,” said Axelrod.

He further explained that they are a shorebird, they live in the forest and are related to the sandpiper. They have a cryptic coloration, the color of leaves and large prominent eyes. And they are very plump. Their beak is 10 to 12 inches long.

“It is one strange bird,” said Axelrod. “It can be confused with Wilson’s snipe, also an average shore bird who adapted to living in the forest.”

The woodcock nest is a small shallow depression in the ground surrounded by leaves. “Males do not participate in nest building or rearing the young,” said Axelrod.

For food, woodcocks mostly eat earth worms. “They are known to eat their weight in earth worms every day,” said Axelrod.

Downed woodcocks can be found in Newark and New York City, where they crash into buildings. They are nocturnal, active at night. Shakespeare mentions 64 bird species in his writings, with 10 references to woodcocks.

When a male woodcock is ready to mate, their call is a distinctive, loud “Peent!” The sound is often heard in…
