The storm has finally broken and a pre-dawn departure off to Sandy Point Park in hopes of a glorious sunrise. Alas, the cloud cover was so dense, the sunrise was a non-event. Continuing down the road, I met up with a few fellow birders at Patuxent River Park […]
With the season’s change has been a three-day non-stop rain fest. The remnants of a tropical storm, the Chesapeake Bay has been under a deluge that seems to never end. Even more rain is predicted for a few more days. While we did desperately need the rain due […]
