Five hours at Fort Armistead Park this morning produced some nice sightings.
When I arrived at 9:00 a Willet (WILL) was on the seawall. Before it flew
south toward Fort Smallwood, I clicked a couple of digiscope images. I also
had an American Osytercatcher (AMOY) fly from Anne Arundel waters into
Baltimore and under the Key Bridge. In addition, seven heron species and
five tern species -- including an adult and juvenile Royal Terns (ROYT).
