Parkon October 27


Join DC Audubon for a great day of birding at
<http://www.dnr.state.md.us/publiclands/southern/pointlookout.html>
Point Lookout, MD on Saturday, October 27th. 



	Point Lookout is a narrow peninsula between the Chesapeake Bay
and Potomac, just north of where the two bodies of water come together.
This should be a good time for fall migrants and a good spot for them to
gather before heading across the Bay. We can expect to see several
species of migratory hawks, which follow the western shore of the
Chesapeake on their way south, as well as many songbirds. Participants
should prepare for colder, windier weather than in DC, so dress in
layers and bring a cap. Drivers should be sure to bring a good Maryland
road map. The address of the park is: 11175 Point Lookout Road,
Scotland, MD, 20687 

Meet at our Eastern Market location (in front of Bread and Chocolate)
for carpooling at 7am, or meet us in the parking lot at Point Lookout at
9am. We anticipate returning to DC around 4pm. Please RSVP to trip
leader, Tom, at 202-462-1821 -- especially if you need a ride but also
to give us an idea of how many people to expect. 

Directions to Point Lookout: Take Beltway Exit 7 Branch Ave., Rt.5.
Follow Rt. 5 to Pt. Lookout; signs for it will begin around St. Marys.
There are two left turns followed by a right turn none of which are well
marked. The drive is about two hours. You also can consult
www.dcaudubon.org, or mapquest, for more detailed directions. However,
we will arrange rides and travel together in as few cars as possible
from Bread and Chocolate. 

We look forward to seeing you on the 27th!
