Hi Everyone,

I ventured out to Calvert County this morning, starting at Chesapeake
Beach. I walked the Chesapeake Beach Railroad Trail at first light and had
a Virginia Rail respond just past the first bridge over Fishing Creek. Just
before the second bridge, two King Rails called and one made a very brief
appearance. On my walk back, I was able to get good views of a Marsh Wren.

I scoped the rock jetties where Fishing Creek comes into the bay and found
six Purple Sandpipers on South jetty. I stopped by Jim Stasz place and was
able to view the Rufous Hummingbird within a few minutes (Thanks Jim). My
luck continued with a brief look at the Sandhill Crane before it dipped
over a hillside. Great day to be out.

Regards,
Dave Powell
Germantown MD
