Hi  All I just want to  report  that signs of the coming Spring   are showing up here in Queen Annes County   Geese are begining to  forage in  the fields  more often just as they do   every spring before leaving for the north .  Yesterday  late afternoon 2 - 6  driving home from Work I was on  Green Spring Rd near Queentown  and a bat flew over my truck .   Maple trees are showing swelling flower buds  [won't be long now ] . This morning 2 - 7  there was a large flock of Ring Billed Gulls in a field on Charmicheal  Rd near Rt 50 at Queenstown  .   Upon arrival at work  a Carolina Wren  was  singing away to  proclaim  the coming season .

Also  I  though folks here would like to know  that this Sunday 2 - 10  at 7:00 pm  on Maryland Public  TV  PBS   our area  its  channel 22  Annapolis  will be airing a program  on the plight of  the Horseshoe Crab and Red Knot in the  Delaware  Bay  . This weeks Nature   episode  is   called  Crash  A tale of two species . Be sure to check it out .


Happy Birding
