January! After being
inside a little too much lately, I decided to use the ”Birding in Southern Maryland” brochure by the
Southern Maryland Audubon Society to get out of the house and check out some local birds. I got a copy of the brochure from the St.
Mary’s County Department of Tourism and I also included the online link. I armed myself with my new Sigma 150-500 mm
lens and my Nikon D600. The brochure turned
out to be accurate. The information in
the brochure took me to a nearby swampy farming area not far from the
water. I quickly saw a bald eagle before
I could pull out my camera. I later
spotted a great blue heron in a field, lots of bluebirds sitting on a wire and three
European Starlings sharing some branches.
If you want to try birding, I can recommend the brochure.
