Hi All,

The Kent County Bird Club will be making our annual winter trek to Ocean 
City on Saturday, 26 January. We will be searching for local specialties 
including sea ducks and other wintering waterfowl, loons, and gulls, and 
shorebirds, featuring Purple Sandpipers, oystercatchers and turnstones.

We will meet local folks traveling with us to the shore at 8:00 AM at 
the Dollar General Store parking lot between Spring St. and 
Philosopher's Terrace. Others wishing to meet us en route may look for 
us at the commuter parking lot at the intersection of US. 50 and MD-404 
near Wye Mills at 8:45 AM. The current closure of the US. 50 bridge to 
Ocean City for repairs will change our plans for covering the area. 
Please give us a call so we can make arrangements with with you if you 
wish to meet us down there. You should bring a lunch, and we suggest 
wearing layers of warm clothing, that can be shed or donned as the need 
arises; the maritime climate, with its onshore breezes and humidity, can 
make even a mild day seem chilly.

Good birding,

Walter Ellison & Nancy Martin

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