Hi all; Join us this Saturday!
Traverse the quiet wooded lanes of one of Cecil's prime birding gems, Elk Neck State Forest, with our own Parke John.  Parke knows the State Forest as well as he knows his own backyard.  At this time of year, the Forest is starting to ring with the songs of newly arrived summer residents:  Veery, Wood Thrush, Hooded Warbler, Worm-Eating Warbler, Black-and-White Warbler, Great Crested Flycatcher, and other goodies.  The Forest is also a great place to search for migrating thrushes, flycatchers, vireos and warblers.  There have been 17-warblers days in the Forest!  

Meet at 7:00 a.m at the State Forest office parking lot off Irishtown Rd. for a ½ Day Trip.  From the town of North East, go south on Rt 272 and when you reach the south edge of town, turn left onto Irishtown Rd.  Follow Irishtown Road to the forest entrance at the dirt road on the left, just past Timberlane Drive on the right.  Park near the maintenance building on the left just after the entrance. Wear good shoes or boots for walking.
