Hi Everybody,

The Kent County Bird Club will launch 2008 with a half-day trip to 
Eastern Neck National Wildlife Refuge on Saturday the fifth of January. 
Nancy and I will be at the Dollar General parking lot opposite the east 
end of Spring St. at 8:00 AM. We will be combining our efforts with the 
Cecil Bird Club and will meet those good folks at 8:30 AM at Eastern 
Neck Narrows at the Swan Boardwalk parking lot; if you live west of 
Chestertown this would be a good alternate meeting place. Eastern Neck 
Island is great for large waterfowl concentrations including up to 500 
Tundra Swans, and thousands of scaup, geese, and dabblers. The Island is 
also good for landbirds with its abundance of hedgerows, woodlots, and 
marshland. We look forward to your company for some mid-winter birding - 
dress warmly, although it will be warmer than than mid-week, it will 
probably be breezy.

Good birding,

Walter Ellison

Observing Nature is like unwrapping a big pile of presents every time 
you take a walk.
