SUMMARY:Celebrate the Return of the Prothonotary Warbler
DESCRIPTION:Prothonotary Warbler. Photo by Gary Robinette / Audubon Photography Awards \nField Trip\nLeader: Gene Groshon \nVisit this unique swampland where one of Southern Maryland’s most eye-popping warblers makes its home.  The Prothonotary Warbler will be in full song\, setting up its breeding territories.  Our leader Gene Groshon has been banding Prothonotaries in this location for several years. Our goal will be to identify individual warblers that have just returned from Venezuela\, Colombia\, or Mexico to the Cypress Swamp to nest again. The Sanctuary includes a visitors’ center and a boardwalk through the swamp\, so the birding should be excellent at the height of spring migration. DIRECTIONS:  About 2 mi south of Prince Frederick\, MD on Rt 4\, turn south on Sixes Road (Rt 506). In 2 miles turn left on Grays Road.  Proceed for about a quarter mile to Sanctuary entrance on the right.  Group size may be limited. Register online at: https://www.calvertparks.org/event-4657586 \nFIELD TRIP COVID POLICY: SMAS is restarting its program of outdoor birding field trips as of January 2022 using the following public health guidelines to ensure the safety of participants on all trips: \n1. All participants must be fully vaccinated except those with medical exemptions; \n2. Masks are optional\, unless otherwise stated in the trip description; \n3. Do not attend if you are experiencing any symptoms of a cold\, flu or COVID; \n4. Maintain social distancing.

SUMMARY:Bird City MD Campus Walk and Talk
DESCRIPTION:Eastern Bluebirds\, Native Plants & World Migratory Bird Day\nIn-Person Monthly Meeting\nLeaders: Barb Whipkey\, Lynne Wheeler\, and Tracey Stuller \nJoin us outdoors and see what College of Southern Maryland did to become the first Bird City Campus in Maryland! We will take a walk around campus with Barb Whipkey\, owner of Wild Birds Unlimited stores in La Plata and Lexington Park. Barb is a champion for Eastern Bluebirds. As we walk the campus\, we will check on the many bluebird boxes there\, as Barb talks about bluebird trails\, feeding bluebirds\, as well as how to provide for the migratory birds that are here for nesting season. \nOur walk will also stop at the site’s many native plant gardens\, which helped the college be designated a Bee Campus USA! The event will end in the central area of the Science and Technology building with food treats. As the sun sets and lights come on\, we will discuss the theme for this year’s World Migratory Bird Day – light pollution and migratory birds. We’ll also learn about the bird species that are being highlighted for 2022. \nFIELD TRIP COVID POLICY: SMAS is restarting its program of outdoor birding field trips as of January 2022 using the following public health guidelines to ensure the safety of participants on all trips: \n1.
