Hi all,
Sorry I'm late. Matt Hafner and I did the West
Ocean City area between RT 90 and RT 50 and came up
with 99 species and 6474 total indiv. At crack of
dawn, we stopped first at Herring Creek Nature Park
for owls and Matt heard one of each E Screech Owl,
Great Horned Owl and a woodcock. We had more than 100
species but some are in someone's territory.
