HI all,



   Yesterday, Baltimore Bird Club with a crew of 7 led
by Steve Sanford on a improptu trip to Point Lookout
and beyond abd found 73 species. We were later joined
by Marty Miller, Patty Craig and one of their friend. 
Best bird of the day was a great closeup of 3 Snow
Buntings at the point too close for scope view. 


Along Rt 2-4 in Calvert Co on way down, there were
grackles, pigeon, and robins not seen on other sites.
