Host:
Baltimore Bird Club.
Leader: Sam Tillman, sam.tillman@gmail.com, 443-844-5917.
Description:
We’ll explore two locations for winter waterfowl, early shorebirds, and spring songbirds. We’ll start with a walk along the first 1/2 mile of the NCR ending at a lookout over a small mud flat which can be good for shorebirds. After returning to the parking lot we’ll drive a short distance (1 mile) to the Paper Mill Flats trailhead, and proceed to some of the best views of mud flats in central Baltimore County. Paper Mill Flats trail is short and flat (.5 miles total) but can be wet and uneven, so consider your footwear. A spotting telescope is also recommended if you have one, the flats are quite large and a scope is helpful for identifying birds on the far shore. Beginners birders welcome! RSVP to leader Required. Trip limited to 10 participants. Masks and social distancing required.
