SUMMARY:Birds of Wetlands\, Lakes\, and Ponds by Bonnie Ott
DESCRIPTION:Bonnie Ott is a long-time member of MOS and the Howard Bird Club. Over four decades of birding\, Bonnie has expanded her interests to include a vast array of subjects. Bonnie started a journey into photography and focuses on documenting unusual species and behaviors. Her pictures have been published in many field guides and used for educational purposes throughout the world. Bonnie has worked on multiple projects and atlases for birds\, dragonflies\, herps and everything else that she can capture with her lens.  \nBonnie will present a program on how to understand the birds you find in various wetland habitats throughout the seasons. Focusing on birds of central Maryland\, Bonnie will explain the difference between our common species. When and where to find them in our lakes\, ponds\, rivers\, streams and marshes. As usual with Bonnie\,  you can expect to see a few other inhabitants of these areas throughout the program.

SUMMARY:Tern Raft in Worcester County
DESCRIPTION:Rain date of Wednesday June 10. \nRoyal\, Common\, Forster’s\, and maybe other terns\, Black Skimmers\, pelicans and much more. \nThere is a fee for the boat ride of $100 which includes the tip. The fee will need to be paid in advance to secure your reservation. There is a limit of 25 people. We will set up a carpool location in Howard County for those who wish to carpool. \nEveryone will meet at the West Ocean City Harbor.  There is plenty of free parking there.  Then\, a boat ride south down to South Point and then the tern raft.   That takes around an hour to ride down\, we will pass the flats near Castaways\, a great birding spot\, and along the waterway between Assateague and South Point.  When we ride out to the Tern raft\, we generally will not stay more than 30 minutes in order to protect the chicks and be sure everyone is fed\, etc.  We can get pretty close\, but they won’t want us there too long.   \nWe can add a lunch too by Assateague Outfitters if you choose as well.  They can meet us at South Point Boat ramp and we can eat the boxed lunches for the ride back.  They have a good assortment of options that we could send out prior.  If you don’t want that option\, that is fine too.  Generally\, the cost is around $20 with tip per lunch which offers a sandwich\, chips\, water\, and a big cookie.   \nTo reserve a spot\, contact Joe Hanfman at auk1844@gmail.com You will then receive details of how to pay for the boat. \n\nSuitable for less experienced birders.\nReservations required.
