Kevin: Along with the aforementioned, I would add Greenbury Point, which is
owned by the Naval Academy but open to the public. It's actually opposite
the Severn River from the Academy - where the 3 big radio towers are. We
hear Bobwhite there every summer, and it's festooned with Goldfinches,
Orioles, Buntings and other field birds.
Also, Quiet Waters Park, a county park, has a great mix of habitats -
forest, marsh/grassland and river. My private list for the park is 60-70,
and that's without huge amount of trying.
Email me privately if you need specific directions to either.
I'm a big fan (and member) of the Chesapeake Environmental Research Center
in Grasonville, although I like their old name (Horsehead Wetland Center)
better...
Good luck
