🦆🦢🪿Registration for our new Advanced Birding Series class on Waterfowl is still open! Class starts October 28. See link for more info: https://aswp.app.neoncrm.com/nx/portal/neonevents/events?path=%2Fportal%2Fevents%2F49753
Join ASWP, River to Land Stewards, and Three Rivers Waterkeeper, this Thursday, October 8, from 5pm to dusk, for a unique birding experience.
We will meet at James Sharp Landing in Sharpsburg and boat out to the soon to be reopened Six Mile Island. We will learn about the multi-year project to clean up and restore the habitat of the island, while exploring what birds might use it year round and during migration.
Bring your own binoculars, or loaner binoculars will be provided. Registration is required, as there is a limited number of spots left in registration.

Northern Cardinal
October 1, 2026
Did you know that Northern Cardinals start with a black beak? This one is likely 12 to 20 days old, as it was moving around but still actively begging for food from its parent. Young can be fed up to 56 days after leaving the nest.
What species are you still seeing being fed in your area?
