Conveniences: trees and a "pot-a-potty" at the Hawkwatch. Admission: None. Questions: call Scott at 410-658-2368, email is skpowers@zoominternet.net. Turkey Point Directions: Traveling north on I95, take the North East exit (Exit 100) and turn South on Rt. 272. Take Rt. 272 south through the town of Northeast. Continue south past the Elk Neck State Park Headquarters, swimming area entrance, camping area entrance, and boating area entrance. Next you will pass through Chesapeake Isles and come to a dirt parking lot (It is about 15 miles from I95 to the Turkey Point parking lot). This is our meeting place for birdwalks.
