April 2nd Calvert Vaux Park

 Leader Max Epstein

Hey Peter,


We had a great day yesterday despite the serious wind which persisted through the day. Calvert Vaux was productive with 56 species, highlights were Blue Gray Gnatcatcher, Boat Tailed Grackle, Hairy Woodpecker, and a northbound movement of flickers. 20-25mph NW wind was a bit rough at that park, but birds made up for it. 

6 Diamonds was a bit quieter with lots of baseball going on, but was fun to explore the far corners of this park. 

After CV and 6D, most of us went to plumb beach for low tide. Some oystercatchers, a northern harrier, and a turkey vulture were welcome sights. 

Link to the checklists below, also attaching a couple group pictures I took. 




Best,
Max
