On Tuesday afternoon I will have about 3 hours of free time and was thinking of doin= g some shorebirding in the Assateague area. Piping Plover is one of my targ= ets. I have read about Eagles Nest Campground in many postings and know where = it is on the map, but I was unclear whether the shorebirds are seen on the C= G side or scoped across the channel on Assateague. And is there any problem= of access to the CG this time of year? On the island itself, can anyone recommend the best birding/shorebirding not too far off the beaten path? = One of these days I'll do some serious exploring there but on this trip I jus= t won't have the time for miles of hiking -- sounds like fun though! I plan to hit Bombay Hook on the way down Monday AM, North Pocomoke early= AM on Tuesday and Wednesday, and maybe some nighttime railing at Truitt's Landing. If anything spectacular turns up I'll post the goodies. Thanks i= n advance for any help.
