Folks

On Saturday, April 25, Gwen Brewer and I lead a field trip for the Southern 
Maryland Audubon Society to Maxwell Hall Park just north of Benedict in 
Charles County.  Below is the mixed list we tabulated during our four hour 
foray.  An interesting but under used park along the Patuxent River and the 
Swanson Creek tributary.  The best show was a friendly Ovenbird which at one 
point walked out in front of us.  Another Ovenbird was collecting nesting 
material.  I will post some images tomorrow on my website.

George
