> Enroute, at 16:30 we were on the 101 heading west, there were 8  
> Turkey Vultures on the edge of a plowed field before the ramp to  
> exit 19. A few crows were in the same field but in a group north of  
> the vultures.

> About 19:30 During an abbreviated "1000 Year Natural and Cultural  
> History of Annapolis" tour of the DU wetlands led by Stephen  
> Hawboldt, we  heard Veery, saw and heard numerous Red-winged  
> Blackbirds, Bank Swallows and Tree Swallows. Sighted several pairs  
> of Common Mergansers, Mallards, Canada Geese. Saw Grebe species,  
> likely pied-billed, no binoculars.
>
> A fox was walking along the shoulder of the road west of the tidal  
> power dam, it nonchalantly, hopped over the guard rail as our car  
> approached.

> This is the latest time of day that we have been on the A. Royal DU  
> wetlands walking trail.
> We have never experienced so much activity and variety of birds  
> species.

> Cheers, Barbara and Pat
