PABU seekers.

I'm sorry for the confusion in my last post.

My comment about Chesapeake Academy is mostly that it's across the
street, and it might be the best place to park.  I've not been to the
location.

I don't know EXACTLY where the bird was seen.  I do know that the
trial heads up the penisula and crosses Asquithview.  It is a quiet
street (on the Severn River side / not the Rt 2 side).  Basically,
from Annapolis... make a left off of B&A Blvd onto Asquithview.  From
Baltimore, make a right.  I would think one could park on that street
and walk onto the trial.  Since I've no idea where those feeders are
located, I am guessing one will either arrive to find a slew of
birders OR one will have to be the first to find it.

I contacted my friend at the school just to see about setting up a
feeder and a camera for documentation.  I don't think the bird has
been seen on that side of the street.

Again, sorry for all of the confusion!
