Hi All,

The Kent County Bird Club will have a half-day trip to Chesapeake 
(formerly Remington) Farms on Sunday 21 February. We will meet at 8:00 
AM at the Dollar General Store parking lot between Spring St. and 
Philosopher's Terrace.

Chesapeake Farms (formerly Remington Farms) is a well-known 
privately-managed property with a focus on wildlife habitat enhancement. 
Because of snow conditions it is not likely we will be able to go onto 
the auto tour, however we will keep in touch with the manager in hopes 
conditions improve. We will likely tour the main publicly accessible 
roads surrounding and through the property and perhaps venture down some 
of the necks on both branches of Langford Creek. This area is superb for 
geese, raptors (including the possibility of seeing both eagle species), 
and songbirds, particularly sparrows, including some of the largest 
wintering flocks of White-crowned Sparrows in Kent County. On 
Valentine's Day last weekend we saw 26 Brown Thrashers, 2 cock 
pheasants, and 2 Hermit Thrushes there. We hope to see you Sunday.

Good birding,

Walter Ellison & Nancy Martin

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