SUMMARY:ROCK CREEK'S NORTH BRANCH STREAM VALLEY
DESCRIPTION:Discover upper Rock Creeks watershed with a variety of habitats. We will start along open fields and marshy areas next to Bowie Mill Park with the opportunity to see sparrows\, hawks and early migrants. Turkeys and a woodcock have been spotted in this area. For those wanting a longer foray\, a 4 mile loop which includes the stream valley will be possible and likely we will see woodpeckers and other resident woodland species. The path at this point along Rock Creek is meandering and narrow with some steep sections. Start at 7.30 a.m. at Bowie Mill Park https://www.montgomeryparks.org/parks-and-trails/bowie-mill-local-park/ next to Sequoyah Elementary School with the option to do the shorter paved walk or the longer loop. Limit of 12 in two groups of six each. Reservations required. \nFor reservations and more information Contact the CO-LEADERS Josephine Cox jobirder11@gmail.com 240 506 1723 or Anne Mytych amytych@yahoo.com 240-506-0236

SUMMARY:GUNNERS LAKE GERMANTOWN
DESCRIPTION:THIS TRIP WAS POSTPONED FROM FEBRUARY 10th. \nGunners Lake has established a deserved reputation over the years for a nice variety of wintering waterfowl and rather close views of the birds\, but is shallow enough to freeze solid during cold winter weather. Participants are invited to bring telescopes\, since the leader will probably not be at liberty to share his because of pandemic restrictions. Walking will be along a level\, paved path. Meet at 8 a.m. along the north side of Wisteria Drive\, where there is ample parking. Specific maps giving directions will be sent to participants. Limit: 6\, with those confirmed for the postponed 2/10 trip having priority. \nFor reservations (required)\, more information\, and directions\, contact the LEADER: Mike Bowen at 202-236-0510 or dhmbowen@yahoo.com.

SUMMARY:DISCOVERING AUSTRALIA: WHERE BIRD SONG EVOLVED
DESCRIPTION:MEETING \nFor a long time\, Australian mammals and birds were considered “inferior”. Over the past 50 years however\, it has been established that songbirds and several other bird families in fact originated and evolved in Australia\, explaining their diversity and specificity and the importance of the austral continent for birds. Evelyn wasn’t aware of this when she landed in Sidney in 2012\, joining a long-time friend for a 16-day trip. From the first day she was smitten with the abundance and exuberance of the Australian avifauna and the beauty of the land. She birded with volunteer guides and on her own around Sidney\, Melbourne\, Ayer’s Rock (Uluru) and Darwin and ended up viewing and photographing a little under 200 bird species. From the huge Emu to the small Weebill\, she will share with you a selection of her favorite encounters including the iconic Kukaburra(s) and other kingfishers\, parrots\, pigeons\, honey-eaters\, finches and the small songbirds referred to as Australian warblers. And a few kangaroos\, of course.
