Conowingo Dam (Harford County)
| Trip leader, recorder, & photographer: Guy DiRoma | Date of trip: November 16, 2024 |
| Location: Conowingo Dam & Susquehanna SP (Harford County) | Number attending: 10 |
| Details: It was a windy but beautiful sunny day at Conowingo Dam. Eagles dove for fish several times but did not catch any unlike the double-crested cormorants which were able to get their fill at the base of the dam. After Conowingo, six people in the group made a short stop at Susquehanna State Park where a common merganser was sighted out on a large rock in the river. | |
