Is the Natural Area open to the public?  How would one access it the best (there are a lot of acres there!)

Thanks,

Joanne

Thanks to the Scenic Rivers Land Trust, I checked out the Bacon Ridge Natural 
rea in Crownsville, MD this morning. They had a bunch of tours and did a great 
ob coordinating the event. I sure wish this place was accessible all the time.  

ighlights included my FOY Ovenbirds (3), Louisiana Waterthrush, N. Parula, 
lack & White Warblers (4), multiple B.G. gnatcatchers including 1 nest and a 
ird with nesting material. Several Chipping Sparrows, Wild Turkey (1 hen), 
ree, Barn, N. rough-winged Swallows, Chimney Swift (FOY), Red-tail Hawk, 2 
dult Bald Eagles, and my FOY Broad-winged Hawk. 
It was quite windy so, I am sure there were more birds around that went 
ndetected but
great weather at a fantastic location! 
Good Birding,
