The Great Egret previously reported on 4/02 at Meadowbrook was present at 12:00 pm today (4/05). There were also 2 Northern Rough-winged Swallows. 



The egret could be seen from the pavalion on the west side, close to a large building under construction. 



Directions to Howard County Birding sites: 

http://www.howardbirds.org/howard/directions.htm 





Meadowbrook Park - ADC 4815-h10 (12-C13 & 16-C1), Delorme 57-C6 
From US 29 take MD 100 east (Exit 22, Long Gate Parkway). Stay in the right lane as exit 1A is less than 0.1 mile from the end of the exit ramp. After exiting, as you approach the top of the exit ramp, go straight following signs for Meadowbrook Lane. Continue ~0.1 mile to a left turn into the Park and Ride Lot which puts you adjacent to the most developed portion of the park. The paved path that loops through the park is accessible near the tot lot OR: To reach the formal entrance to the park, continue west on Meadowbrook Lane another 0.2 mile. Turn left into the park and go through the series of lots to the one farthest from the entrance. At this point you will be near the path adjacent to extensive wetlands and the hawkwatch knoll. Usually this west end is the most productive section of the park. 



Good birding,
