Hi Everybody,

The Kent County Bird Club will launch 2011 with a half-day trip to 
Eastern Neck National Wildlife Refuge on Saturday the eighth of January. 
Nancy and I will be at the Dollar General parking lot opposite the east 
end of Spring St. on the side toward Philosopher's Terrace at 8:00 AM. 
South county residents may arrange to meet us at the Eastern Neck 
Narrows at about 8:30 AM. Eastern Neck Island is great for waterfowl 
concentrations including hundreds of Tundra Swans, and scaup, geese, and 
dabblers. It is likely that icy conditions have reduced numbers a bit 
this year. However, the Island is also good for landbirds with its 
abundance of hedgerows, woodlots, and marshland. We look forward to your 
company for some mid-winter birding - dress warmly and bring snacks. The 
current forecast is calling for mostly overcast weather with 
temperatures near freezing.

Good birding,

Walter Ellison & Nancy Martin

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