The highlights were the Blue-Gray Natcatcher and the Common Merganser flyby at Terrapin, And the Horned Grebe at Horsehead. ALSO, the Centreville Middle School Birding Group would like to invite anyone to the schools Earth Day Celebration April 25. This is a public event. There will be a chance to meet the CMS birding group throughout the day, specifically at 2:15, when after a small presentation, there will be a bird walk around the schools habitat. -Jim Wilson Go to http://www.qacps.k12.md.us/cms/sci/EARTHDAY.HTM for a schedule and more information.
