Hi Everybody,

The Kent County Bird Club has two upcoming field trips:

On Saturday, 18 April (tomorrow) Nancy and I will be leading a low-key 
beginner-friendly two-hour bird walk, beginning at 9:00 AM, on the 
grounds of the Heron Point community in Chestertown. The community has a 
marsh boardwalk (with rails -- both wooden and the birds) to the shores 
of the Chester River and good woodland edge habitat with potential for a 
variety of returning migrants and resident birds. Meet in the main 
parking lot.
 
Next Saturday, 25 April, we will head to Millington Wildlife Management 
Area in search of recently arrived nesting species such as Blue-gray 
Gnatcatcher, Louisiana Waterthrush and Prothonotary Warbler plus 
whatever other newly arrived local and migrant thrushes, vireos and 
warblers might be found. We will meet participants at the Dollar General 
parking lot in downtown Chestertown at 8:00 AM for carpooling. Be 
prepared for muddy trails and bring some snacks.
 
We hope to see some of you on one of these walks,

Walter Ellison & Nancy Martin

Observing Nature is like unwrapping a big pile of presents every time 
you take a walk.
