Ospreyers: FYI, Beauvue Ponds can be found on page 30:C2 of the DeLorme Atlas of MD and DE. Take Rt 244 south from Rt. 5 east of Leonardtown. Turn right onto Breton Beach Rd then right onto Abell's Wharf Rd. The ponds are visible from Abell's Wharf Rd. There's no shoulder but generally, there isn't much traffic except the occasional dump truck coming or going from Maryland Rock gravel company. The large pond is great for waterfowl in the winter and the grassy field opposite the ponds often has Northern Harrier, Short-eared Owl and somtimes Rough-legged Hawk in the winter. If you drive to the end of Abell's Wharf Rd. there is a small park where you can scope Breton Bay for more waterfowl. -- Good Birding! ...and all this science, Tyler Bell I don't understand, It's mailto:bell@say.acnatsci.org just my job five days a week.
