SUMMARY:Rock Creek's North Branch Stream Valley
DESCRIPTION:Discover upper Rock Creek’s watershed with a variety of habitats. We’ll 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 that includes the stream valley will be possible\, and likely we’ll 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: 12 in two groups of six each. For reservations (required) and more information\, email one of the CO-LEADERS: Josephine Cox at jobird11@gmail.com or Anne Mytych at amytych@yahoo.com.

SUMMARY:March Meeting:  David Curson (Audubon Mid-Atlantic) presents: Can Floating Islands Save Endangered Seabirds in Maryland's Coastal Bays?
DESCRIPTION:Colonial waterbirds that depend on islands for nesting in Maryland’s Coastal Bays have been steadily declining in recent decades due largely to the erosion and loss of their nesting islands. Three species\, Common Tern\, Royal Tern and Black Skimmer\, are now listed as Endangered in the State of Maryland and are at risk of disappearing from the Coastal Bays as breeding species. A new partnership of Audubon Mid-Atlantic\, Maryland Department of Natural Resources and Maryland Coastal Bays Program is trying to reverse downward population trends by installing artificial nesting platforms as part of a larger strategy to expand breeding habitat for these birds. The first year of this project\, 2021\, was a promising start. David Curson has worked as Director of Bird Conservation for Audubon in Maryland since 2004.
