Araminta “Minty” Ross, better known as Harriet "Moses" Tubman, was born in Dorchester County, Maryland. She was known to use bird calls to help guide enslaved persons to freedom along the route of the Underground Railroad. An expert birder and naturalist, many of the birds Harriet Tubman mimicked are still thriving in Dorchester County.
Our friends at Delmarva Birding Tours will guide us as we navigate the same pathways Harriet Tubman used to save 70 people. We'll no doubt encounter some of the same species that helped this hero lead the way.
Our eBird lists and other community science tools are used to determine the health of the environment and the status of bird populations around the globe. How? Brian Wee give us an overview of the different types of community science tools and how environmental data is used.

Regrettably, we have to postpone our Eagle Watch 2.0 at Conowingo Dam given the impending weather.
The road(s) to the dam and to fisherman's park are winding and tricky and it's best we make the trip some other time.
Please stay tuned for the reschedule.
