Host:
Baltimore Bird Club.
Leader: Sam Tillman, 443-844-5917, sam.tillman@gmail.com.
Description:
Paper Mill Flats is one of the best locations in the County to see migrating shorebirds. In addition to shorebirds, we will look for waterfowl, migrating warblers, vireos, and others. We’ll start along the first 1/2 mile of the NCR trail ending at a lookout over a small mud flat which can be good for shorebirds, then head to Paper Mill Flats. After returning to the parking lot, we’ll drive 1 mile to the Paper Mill Flats trailhead and proceed to some of the best views of mudflats in central Baltimore County. Paper Mill Flats trail is short and flat (0.5 miles total) but can be wet, uneven, and narrow, so consider your footwear. The flats are quite large, so spotting scopes are helpful, especially for birds along the far shore. Trip limited to 15. RSVP to leader required.
