Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed Hello. We are birders from Buffalo, NY going to be attending a wedding Sat. June 14th near Burrisville, on the Eastern Shore E of Baltimore. Since we'll have Sun & Mon open for birdwatching, I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions. There won't be a tremendous time available for birding, cause we will want to do other things as well, such as Chincoteague and Assateague for the ponies, and also Baltimore is always worth visiting (Aquarium, O's game). Some ideas were Ocean City for the Inlet and Skimmer Island for Atlantic Shorbirds (I've enjoyed the skimmers there before), Pocomoke Swamp or Nassawango, or Blackwater, for habitats and birds most unlike what we'd see here in the Buffalo area. Some target birds might include: Blue Grosbeak, Summer Tanager, Warblers: Yellow-Throated, Worm-Eating, Prothonotary, Swainson's, and Orchard Oriole? If anyone has some suggestions on a cool place to check out on a restricted schedule in mid-June down in that region, I would like to hear from you. Thanks and Good Birding!
