Afternoon all,
I spent the day at Patuxent Park Jug Bay (PG county) for work and had a
few nice birds of note. There was a very vocal Hooded Warbler up near
the visitor's center building (down slope of the extra parking lot); a
Black-Billed Cuckoo (heard from the fishing pier) and two Least
Bitterns; one near the fishing pier and the other wayyyyy upstream like
you were headed for the Billingsley (?) house.We also saw a female
Bufflehead one bend deeper in from the second Least Bittern. Greg Kearns
took our staff and the teachers we are training for a great boat ride
and put on a program about a little of everything. If you've never been
there take the time to go, you won't regret the visit.
Good birding,
Chris Ordiway
