Dear KCBC members and friends,
After consulting the weekend weather forecast, we have decided to
reschedule the Kent County/Eastern Neck Big Sit to Saturday (from
Sunday). The forecast calls for cooler conditions (50s vs. 60s) on
Saturday, but the big difference that made us decide to switch is the
wind. Sunday is predicted to have 15-20 mph south winds, while Saturday
morning to mid-day is predicted to have much lighter (5-8 mph) northeast
winds.Because a good Big Sit species total is dependent on migrants
passing by the observation platform, Saturday's conditions are much more
favorable. The national Big Sit organizers have this year given teams
the option of 'sitting' on Saturday or Sunday, so we have opted to go
for the more favorable-looking forecast.
We still plan on being at the Tubby Cove observation platform from dawn
to mid-afternoon and welcome all who would like to stop by for a spell
of watching.
Good birding,
Walter Ellison & Nancy Martin
Chestertown, MD
Observing Nature is like unwrapping a big pile of presents every time
you take a walk. (or sit for a spell, in this case)
