Hi all. Parke John will lead a field trip tomorrow thru Fair Hill Natural Resources area. See below.

      Saturday February 7, 2009

      Field Trip  Winter at Fair Hill   

      A brisk morning walk at Fair Hill Natural Resources Management Area, in the northeastern part of Cecil County, is just the antidote for the mid-winter blahs.  Fair Hill in winter is a prime birding site, with the bare trees making for easy viewing of kinglets and kingfishers, woodpeckers and Wood Ducks,  and little brown jobs galore.  

      Meet at the Covered Bridge Parking Lot in Fair Hill.  Use the Fair Hill entrance on Rt 316 north of Rt 273, and go about 2 miles from the parking lot directly into Fair Hill.  The lane will take you directly to the parking lot by the Covered Bridge.  Meet at 8:00 am for a ½ Day trip.  Dress for cold weather and walking.  Warm waterproof shoes or boots desirable.  Scope not needed. 

      Parking fee or annual State Park Pass required.  Honor System in use; bring small bills to pay fee ( $3 Maryland residents; $4 out-of-state visitors).  
     

For any questions please contact Parke at;
