Subject: [MDBirding] Patuxent North no entrance after 3 pm!


I just got back from Patuxent, spent too long at the South tract, I guess, and found when I got to theNorth tract that you had to be there before 3 pm, in order to get in. Fudge! You also have to stop at their Visitor Contact Center (not the Hunter Contact, which you reach first), and fill out a form to get a pass to go in. They are open 8 to 4 every day, so no days when they are closed was good to know.

I did bird from their parking lot and saw the usual suspects at their array of feeders, up til 4 pm. The consolation prize was two adult Bald Eagles that circled over--nice!
