Yesterday my dad and I accompanied Marcy Stutzman, Winger West, and Dave
Brenneman on a birding tour of Pocomoke and the surrounding areas. We started at
the Pocomoke sand pits then Pocomoke Sound WMA after that we went to Janes
Island State Park and to finish our birding tour at Rumbly Point.
Uncertain about some #'s so I omitted them.
