Hi All,

Nancy and I will be leading an all-day Kent County Bird Club trip to the 
wetlands and pinelands south of Cambridge, starting with Blackwater 
National Wildlife Refuge on Sunday 22 February. We expect to see lots of 
waterfowl and eagles, Brown-headed Nuthatch, Bald Eagle and other 
raptors (a fair chance for Rough-legged Hawk or Short-eared Owl), and 
perhaps some early spring migrants. Recent reports from Blackwater have 
featured American White Pelicans and Golden Eagle. We will meet folks in 
Kent County at the Dollar General parking lot across from 
the intersection of Spring St. and MD-213 at 8:00 AM. Bring lunch and 
snacks and dress appropriately for this all-day trip. We hope to see 
some of you on Sunday.

We are also filling in for Harry Armistead's scheduled  bird "walk" at 
Blackwater and will meet participants there at the refuge Visitor Center 
at 10:00 AM.

Good Birding,
