Hi to everyone. Arlene...we usually hit the Eastern shore over the November holidays. This year we will likely be concentrating on the Western Shore, having discovered this summer so many wonderful places to bird there. We especially thought there must be many little pockets for waterfowl to congregate in and around. Aside from the 'big spots" like Pt. Lookout, is there a good deal of access to the water down there, or are most of the waterside lots private property? In Ocean City environs we could trek up and down streets searching to access to the water. We found many good locations, although some are giving way to development.
