Dan Haas, birder extraordinaire, led the group, and showed us some wonderful spots, full of migrants and native birds. I got to meet some of the members, whom I only knew through Facebook posts, and we all enjoyed a 4 hour trek. I haven&#8217;t looked at all the images yet, but I think there are a few good ones.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/hughvandervoort.com\/anne-arundel-bird-club-outing-at-bacon-ridge\/killdeer-2\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2411\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"2411\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/hughvandervoort.com\/?attachment_id=2411\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hughvandervoort.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/Killdeer-2.jpg?fit=436%2C388&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"436,388\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Killdeer 2\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hughvandervoort.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/Killdeer-2.jpg?fit=436%2C388&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2411\" title=\"Killdeer 2\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hughvandervoort.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/Killdeer-2.jpg?resize=436%2C388&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"436\" height=\"388\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hughvandervoort.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/Killdeer-2.jpg?w=436&amp;ssl=1 436w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hughvandervoort.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/Killdeer-2.jpg?resize=300%2C266&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hughvandervoort.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/Killdeer-2.jpg?resize=337%2C300&amp;ssl=1 337w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 436px) 100vw, 436px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2406\" style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hughvandervoort.com\/anne-arundel-bird-club-outing-at-bacon-ridge\/killdeer-1\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2406\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2406\" data-attachment-id=\"2406\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/hughvandervoort.com\/?attachment_id=2406\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hughvandervoort.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/Killdeer-1.jpg?fit=500%2C348&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"500,348\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Killdeer \" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;A very handsome bird.
