Hey everyone,
Today, I joined Billy Hubick, Johnny Hubbell, Jimmy Brighton, Danny Small, and for a large part of the day, Mikey Walsh for birding on the Eastern Shore. The weather was awful and birds were painfully absent for some periods of the day, but it was a great day of birding nonetheless.
Here are some of the highlights:
Ocean City Inlet:
Northern Gannett - 5
Common Eider - 14 - a good count
Harlequin Duck - 3, including a beautiful adult male
Merlin - 1

Cedar Hill, Wicomico County:
Wild Turkey - 15 - crossing the road when we drove in.
