Chesapeake Audubon is having a field trip at Adkins tomorrow (Sunday) led by Kye Jenkins and myself.  All are welcome, we are meeting in the parking lot at 830AM, the gate will be open.  This is our yearly trip to coincide with their fantastic spring native plant sale. 

A house wren arrived at my home two days ago and is already filling the wren house with small sticks.  The first brood last year was successful but the 2nd succumbed to a snake.
