Directions (some parts being repeats from postings that now seem to be
from  long ago): 
Take Rte 2 north off Rte 50/301.   Proceed a little over one mile, and
look for a poorly marked road that at  the last minute is shown as Rte 648.
This will turn out to be  Baltimore-Annapolis Blvd, which may be easy to
reference for local people,  but means practically nothing for people
unfamiliar with the area.   Turn left onto Rte 648.  (If you happen to be
coming down Rte 2 from  Baltimore area, you will have a chance for a right
turn onto 648 at a site  a bit farther north.)
When on Rte 648, continue until you  reach an intersection with
Asquithview Lane, at which point one turns to  the right if coming from the
south.  Proceed only about a block along  Asquithview Lane and you will come
to a very well marked bike path.   Park on the right-hand side of the road,
either as you approach the bike  path, or else beyond the bike path, for
parking is allowed on that sideof  the lane, and there is reasonable room for
several cars.
The viewing place for the feeder that is treating the bunting is only a
few  steps along the bike path to the south of  Asquithview Lane.   Careful
inspection will show even the novice (like me) that the second  house on the
left of the path (up a small hill) is where there is a green  metal feeder on
a pole that can be easily seen from beside the bike  path.  More careful
inspection will show the easy landmark of a Pink  plastic Flamingo at the
edge of the yard on the side of the hill.   There is a narrow path into the
bamboo that heads up the hill, but there is  no reason to take it.  Instead,
the best viewing can come from the far  side of the bike path where there is
plenty of room to set up a  scope.  For thorough comfort, you can even lean
against a conveniently  located power pole while you await the arrival of the
bird into your scope  view.
Leo - thanks much for carefully directing me, and then  taking the extra
step of making sure I did not go too far down the bike  path.  As you surely
noted above, the bird arrived within four minutes  of the fading of your tail
lights into the horizon.  I'm sure you will  find it again during your next
visit.

Hi everyone,
 The previous posting is from Les Roslund from Feb. 5; directions to  the 
Painted Bunting. I printed these and followed them roughly, using my NavMan  
navigator as well. There is one error in Les's post that should be made clear.  If 
you are driving from Rt. 50, take Rt. 2 north and make a left onto Rt.  648 
and a LEFT onto Asquithview Lane if coming from the south (not a right as  Les 
posted). Follow the directions from Les to the feeder/yard hosting the  
bunting. 
 
As you can only make a left onto Asquithview  coming from the south,  it 
wasn't really confusing, but some might not find it so.
 
Good searching.
