Paul, congratulations on your big day. You were lucky to have good weather. If
you have trouble finding bobwhites, maybe you should bird in Cecil County more
often. I won't say that bobwhites are common in Cecil, but they are a sure thing
at several places, including Fair Hill and Courthouse Point.
Other Cecil sightings: first-of-the-year common nighthawk, at my house, yesterday
evening. Also yesterday, my son reported seeing several small flocks of
bobolinks in the Topps area at Fair Hill (southwest of the intersection of Big
Elk Chapel and Gallagher Roads). Last year, bobolinks nested at Fair Hill in
large numbers, only to be wiped out by an early haying.
And finally, a big thanks to Norm and Fran for hosting the MDOsprey get-together
at the MOS conference. It was wonderful to be able to meet some ospreyers
face-to-face. And thanks to Mark Hoffman for sharing your gull photos with us.
