RE: [MDBirding] GPS Coordinates by app
Marcia Watson
Thanks Sharon. Here’s another GPS coordinate tip: the Compass app that’s built into iPhone shows GPS coordinates at the bottom of the compass screen. If I want to share coordinates or store them as a reference, I take a screenshot of the Compass screen; the screenshot can then be sent as an attachment by email or text. Quick and easy. It’s also possible to get coordinates from the built-in Maps app on an iPhone by dropping a pin and then clicking on it. But the Compass app method is quicker.

There is an app called "MyGPSCoordinates" which makes determining and sharing your location extremely easy. More birders should use it!

Tony et al.:
Below is a Google Map screen shot of the area. The blue pin is the viewing area best in the afternoon at the end of Dayton Ave. North Beach Marsh is the entire complex north, west and east of that. Walton Beach is the pond to the east of Bay Ave (text marked on the map north of 9th St.) where the ROSP has been most cooperative (except for me this morning).
Hog Point is in Anne Arundel.

I'm looking on Google maps and cannot find either North Beach Marsh or Walton Beach. I see Wetland overlook Park, which I suspect is that location.
Any clarification would be gratefully received.

The spoonbill is currently being seen by many people at North Beach Marsh. Walk across the boardwalk. Take the path to your right, follow along the edge of the marsh for a couple of hundred yards. Not a great view but 11 of us are seeing it.
