Assateague Oct 12 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Hey Everyone, Come join the Assateague Big Sit! on Oct 12th as part of the nationwide Big Sit! Competition. Last year, Jim Stasz, Zach Baer, Norm and Fran Saunders, and myself counted 69 species from our circle including second state record Eurasian Collared-Dove. The circle will be located at the parking lot at the end of the road to Bayside Campground. Besides the Collared-Dove, we had several species of warblers, 2 Dickcissels, a few Great Cormorants, 2 Peregrines, and other interesting species. With more coverage, I'm sure more birds could be found, we only stayed until 1pm. Hope to see you there!!
