We visited Newtowne Neck State Park in St. Mary's County twice to enjoy the beach at the end of Newtowne Neck Road in the perfect weather. First we stayed to the West and then returned to see the Eastern side of the beach. There are quite a few coves created by rock jetties. Beautiful! We didn't exactly have to fight off the crowds in September. I've heard it is quite crowded in the summer.

It's that time of year again. The osprey almost have an internal biological clock, possibly the length of the day or environmental changes. They arrive within a few days of March 15th to our area every year. I thought I saw one at the neighbor's house on March 16th and quite a few more on the 17th. There are sometimes haggles over who gets which nest. I briefly saw 3 osprey at the nest, and later I thought there was some arguing going on. The geese have been getting more agressive in recent years too and sometimes decide it is their nest. At the moment, there are a pair of ospreys. We enjoy watching them, even though we make them nervous when they see us.
We went back to Piney Point and St. George Island to look for osprey and enjoy prettier weather than the last recent trip there.
We visited Elms Beach before the summer crowd. It was pleasantly cool, a fun place to explore and made a nice peaceful visit with our old dog, Sarita.
