Fellow Birders:

As a volunteer naturalist for the Patapsco Valley State Park
(PVSP), I will be leading a bird walk to the Halethorpe Ponds
area on Halethorpe Farms Road (Halethorpe, Baltimore County) on
Saturday morning from 8 to 11 AM.

July is approaching the end of the breeding season, so I expect
to see a variety of fledglings there, as well as some breeding
birds that are still singing and patrolling their territories,
and wanderers from the harbor.

We meet at PVSP's Avalon Visitor Center parking lot at 8 AM.
>From the Baltimore Beltway (I#695), take MD#1 (exit 12-A) south
about 3 miles toward Elkridge to South Street.  Turn right; the
park is an immediate left.  Go about 1.2 miles, passing the
entrance booth where a $3 fee is charged, to Gun Road.  Turn
right, then right again into the Avalon Visitor Center parking
lot.  We will car pool to Halethorpe Ponds.

Please let me know if you plan to attend.
