This morning Terry Allen from the Talbot Bird Club led a field trip
to Blackwater NWR in honor of their annual Eagle Celebration.  He
had over 50 participants in a truly monumental car caravan and
turned up (by my count-his might differ) 42 species.  Best birds
were my FOY Tree Swallows, Dunlin, Snipe, and both Yellowlegs.  The
participants, most of whom had come to see the eagles, were well
pleased with the results.

Best,
Norm
