Host:
Baltimore Bird Club.
Leader: Nico Sarbanes, nasarbanes@yahoo.com.
Description:
Paper Mill Flats is one of the best locations to see migrating shorebirds. In addition to shorebirds, we will look for waterfowl, migrating warblers, vireos, and others. 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 mudflats in central Baltimore County. Paper Mill Flats trail is short and flat (0.5 miles total) but can be wet and uneven and narrow, 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. RSVP to leader required.
