I haven't been paying attention to whether people have posted here but the 6 Roseate Spoonbills continue at Allen's Fresh in Charles County as of this morning, 7/6. They are often roosting in some large pines that are visible either from the first or second bridge east of 301 on 234. If you're lucky, you'll pull up and another birder will have them in sight! First Charles County record. If you have a kayak, there have been a number of truly excellent photos of the birds either foraging on the mudflats or sitting in the pines.

Hi Tyler, I was at the site last evening and saw one bird before it flew behind marsh plants. Pretty cool,

Questions:

Kelly from St. Mary’s asked about the age of all the ROSP, how long they might stay, have they nested and this is a dispersal, Will the group hang together?

I didn’t have many answers, what do you think?

I’ll text her the answers,

Joe
