Yesterday (Sunday May 7, 2006), I led a field trip for the Cecil Bird Club to Meadow Park in Elkton.  We covered both the east and west sides of the park, including the fish hatcheries.  We had a very enjoyable morning with 5 participants and 61 species heard and/or seen.  It was a little breezy and unseasonably chilly, but the sun was shining and we had a very nice time with something interesting always in view.  My thanks to Gene for keeping track of the species list, which follows.
