After a little ‘net research and a consult with the AA Bird Club, I decided to give Terrapin Beach Nature Park a try. I had some reservations because of weekend beach traffic over the Bay Bridge, but I hit the bridge around 6:30 AM and all was well.
The park is located at the Eastern Terminus of the bridge in Chesapeake Business Park. Just follow Log Canoe Road to the sign.
Once parked, follow the unimproved path through the marsh. The asphalt walk will get you there as well, but don’t follow it too far, as I did, or you’ll have to backtrack.
It was cloudy and threatening rain, and the lighting wasn’t good, but this place has a lot of potential. I didn’t do very well, but I’ll be back, on a weekday when there aren’t so many joggers, fishermen and walkers.

I have a lot of Red Winged Blackbird images, but for some reason, this is the only one from the rear view.

I don’t know which Tern this is, but there were many of them fishing in the marsh ponds. It’s tough to get a decent image of these small, fast moving birds.

I saw 4 or 5 rabbits, most of whom would let me get quite close. This poor guy has a tick on his face.

This Great Blue Heron was roosting near the hide that overlooks the marsh.

This Eastern Kingbird was behaving as a flycatcher should, darting out from this perch to catch his prey, then returning.
