Good light and a few good birds.<\/p>\n<p>Ellen O. Moyer Park is a small park at 7228 Edgewood Road in Annapolis. I&#8217;ve been there several times in the last few years without finding much, but I gave it another shot this morning. The flooding was so bad downtown that traffic out of town was backed up everywhere, so it made sense to stay local.<\/p>\n<p>This park has a tall wooded hill and a good waterfront vista, so I&#8217;ll keep trying.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_37469\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hughvandervoort.com\/?attachment_id=37469\" rel=\"attachment
