Parking on Damsontown Road (MD Rte 481) is difficult and probably dangerous
due to the very narrow shoulders. However, if you continue just a short
distance north and turn onto Crouse Mill Road, there are broad shoulders on
both sides of the road near the intersection. It is an easy walk back to
the flooded field.
When I was in the area around mid-day on Monday, I looked for shorebirds at
both loctions: the flooded field on Damsontown Road as well as the pond at
Quail Covey Farm (I did not find the Ruff at either place). For the pond,
I parked on the broad paved shoulder of MD Rte 309 on the south side of the
road, across from the pond. I stayed in my car, using it as a blind. None
of the geese or swans flew off, and I was not approached by any landowners.
The shoulders of the road are public right of way. Also, there are no
signs saying "no parking, stopping, or standing."
