Hi Folks!
I received a call this afternoon (May 27) from Greg Kearns. Yesterday at dusk
while boating on the Patuxent River, he heard what he believed to be a
Limpkin. When he got home, he reviewed recordings and was convinced. He went
out again and the bird responded to the recordings. Greg noted that the bird
called from dusk and through the night...he heard it from his house in
Nottingham, Prince George's County..but the bird was across the river in
Calvert County.
The easiest access to that area also happens to be a Maryland DNR property.
Landing Road [Delorme 38, B1], park....park and then walk through the gate and
south along the dirt road about 150 feet, then take the first righthand
road..and go along it downhill, first west then to the north...it ends in
about 1/4 mile at a spot by the marsh were folks sometimes launch canoes.
Good Birding!
