Go past the golf course and the brigade sports complex and you\u2019ll see the Nature Center on the right. Park there, or take the 45 degree left to get to Possum Point.<br \/>Access seems to be unrestricted except for fishing, and licenses are occasionally checked. You may run into a USNA security officer, and they are usually quite polite.<br \/>I usually start at Possum Point, where ospreys, cormorants and gulls are abundant in the Spring and Summer. Since this was written Possum Point has been closed, and I don&#8217;t know why. Edit: It&#8217;s now open again. 11\/15\/17.\u00a0 You can still access the boat ramp area.There are several Osprey nesting platforms close to shore. Warblers, orioles, waxwings, hawks can be found as well. Check the boat ramp area for herons, kingfishers and ducks.<br \/>There is a tree farm at the beginning of the right hand (East) path that is very productive of passerines, especially bluebirds, warblers, kinglets and vireos in season. Tower cable road and Helix road are productive as well.<br \/>There are two paths behind the Nature Center as well, and they are worth exploring.<br \/>Look for deer and foxes any place you go. Summer months call for insect repellent.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>See this link for current info:<a
