Western Grebe at Castaways, Worcester County

[Robert Ostrowski]

I just heard from Mike Walsh who says that Sam Dyke found a Western Grebe at Castaway today.

Castaways campground is located off Eagles Nest Rd, just south of the Ocean City Airport. The campground road goes right up to the shore of the bay, where you can get good looks of the water. Please be mindful that, while the owner(s) are birder friendly, it is still private property.

Hi Everyone,

Thanks to Rob and Mike for getting the news out and congrats to Sam on another great find!

I just spoke with Sam and the bird is still present now (2:35 pm); Scott Housten arrived at Castaways while Sam and I were talking.

I wanted to add one more important detail to Rob's advice about this private property.  The folks there are really nice, but they request that visitors (one person per group is fine) stop into the office to ask about birding before entering the campground.  They like to know who is on the property.  Every time I go in to ask about birding, they always say yes, and they always mention that they are glad that I stopped in to ask first.

So, if you go, please help to keep all of us on good terms with the staff at this great birding location.  Thanks!

Have fun,
