Hi All,

The Kent County Bird Club will conduct a trip to Kent Island focusing on 
Terrapin Point Park just north of the east foot of the Bay Bridge (with 
likely branching out to other places in the area). This small park on 
the Bay has a good trail system featuring bay shores, thickets, small 
wooded areas, and marshy ponds. It can be a good place for migrants of 
many kinds including water birds on the bay and on the ponds, and late 
season warblers, kinglets, and sparrows in the thickets and woods. 
Raptors may also be cruising over or hunting for the songbirds. We 
anticipate this will be a full day outing so bring a lunch, dress in 
layers (it's autumn), with sturdy walking shoes recommended for trail 
walking. We will meet folks coming from Kent County at the Dollar 
General parking lot between Washington Ave and Philosopher's Terrace in 
Chestertown at 8:00 AM. People wishing to meet us on Kent Island should 
contact us ahead of time, by e-mail or phone (410-778-9568).

Good birding,

Nancy Martin & Walter Ellison

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