The Talbot Bird Club visit to Horn Point on Nov 19th brought out fourteen
birders.  Shirley Bailey led the group along many well-manicured trails
through varied habitat that included Choptank River shoreline, hedgerows and
woodland edges, and boardwalks across marsh land.  Fifty-five species of
birds were seen or heard, with the clear highlight being a winter-plumage
Baltimore Oriole.
