Cecil Bird Club Field Trip this Saturday! Blackwater & Beyond. This trip is designed to see large numbers of waterfowl during the height of spring staging season, at Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge in Dorchester County and the surrounding area. Bald Eagles are a bonus feature. Ospreys may be newly arrived and if so, will be setting up territories. Some early shorebirds might be on the move. Come take advantage of the peaceful Eastern Shore ambiance before the tourist season sets in. Meet at the parking lot of Blackwater Headquarters at 8:00 a.m. for a full-day trip. (To carpool, we suggest making arrangements to meet near Dunkin Donuts in Big Elk Mall, intersection of Rt. 40 and Rt. 213 in Elkton, at 5:30 a.m.) See the Blackwater NWR website for directions. Bring breakfast, lunch and snacks; there are few opportunities to purchase food in the vicinity. Dress for possible extreme cold and wind. Bring scope if you have one. Some easy walking on level ground.
