Folks

I stopped by the Mattawoman Creek where it splits Prince George's and Charles Co on Rt. 228.  I stopped because there was a large collection of white birds.  Specifically 65 Great Egrets and 1 Cattle Egret.  There was also one Great Blue Heron at this spot.  The Cattle Egret is harder and harder to find on the coastal plain.  This is only my second this year in Charles Co.  All the birds were in Charles Co. if the listers are interested.

We still have two Ruby-throated Hummingbirds around.
