Harford County is located in the northeast part of Maryland at the head of the Chesapeake Bay and offers a diverse habitat for both breeding and migrating bird species. With the bay and the Susquehanna River on the eastern border and Little Gunpowder Falls on the western border there is a variety of habitats. Four State Parks: Susquehanna, Palmer, Rocks and Gunpowder; as well as Eden Mill, Harford Glen, and Conowingo Dam offer excellent birding opportunities.

MOS Annual State Conference

I wanted to encourage our members to consider registering and attending the upcoming MOS Annual State Conference that Harford is hosting May 24-26 at the Richlin Ballroom and Ramada Inn in Edgewood. If you have never attended a conference before, this is a great opportunity to meet and bird with folks from across the State. We have a great variety of field trips planned and the keynote speaker is our own David Ziolkowski, Jr. All important information and registration material can be found on the MOS website at www.mdbirds.org and using the activities link in the upper left corner of the web page. Hope to see you there.
