Join the Kent County Bird Club for our annual Big Sit on Sunday, 11 
October. We will be watching from the Tubby Cove platform at Eastern 
Neck NWR, overlooking the western end of Eastern Neck Narrows, Tubby and 
Calfpasture coves, and a sweeping view toward Baltimore on the horizon. 
Bald Eagles, Caspian and Royal Terns and a fair selection of waterfowl 
are usually around for much of the day. Observers are welcome to stop by 
for a few minutes or a couple of hours to check on progress and help 
scan the sky and waters for new species to add to the list. We usually 
see around 55 to 60 bird species, although we tallied 67 species during 
the 2008 Big Sit, the second-highest total reported for Big Sit 
locations in Maryland.

We hope to see you on Sunday.
