Sorry if this is repeated....

On Saturday, March 18th, The Birding group from Centreville Middle School went on a Queen Anne's County Bird Hunt for data on the Feeder Watch. Our goal was 100 species in a day, but got 76, which is still a good number. The highlights were; 1 very fat COMMON LOON in Kent Narrows (off the dock next to the Jetty restaurant), 1 CACKELING GOOSE at the Chesapeake Bay Environmental Center looking out from the Visitor Center window, 2 BLUE-WINGED TEALS also looking out the Visitor Center at the CBEC, 1 GOLDEN EAGLE soaring high at the CBEC about 2/3 down the road going into the reserve, 1 WILD TURKEY on Wye Island, 2 LESSER YELLOWLEGS and the trail pond at the CBEC, 2 FORSTER'S TERNS off of Cabin Creek Road, 1 EASTERN PHOEBE on Wye Island, and 3 TREE SWALLOWS at the Rt. 309 pond. If anyone want's to hear the locations for each bird, email me.
