Chris,

You forgot to mention two things about this afternoon's birding adventure:

1. My 9 month old son Declan was with us spotting birds from his car
seat.   (His best bird of the was a cooperative Goldfinch that flew
alongside the car at eye level for a good distance.)
2. There was a Black-Crowned Night Heron on the shoreline of Weems
Creek (towards the mouth) in Annapolis.

Should you have your mind set on birding the shore (and IF you live on
the Western Shore), do plan accordingly.  Route 50 is a total mess
these days.

Good Birding and have a great weekend everyone!

-Dan
