I thought you would like to see how Maryland birders are helping fight
the virus.
The status in Md is a stay at home "order" which imho makes more sense
than NY's verbiage.
That rookery on guard experience must have been something to see. Thanks
for sharing. I'm curious to know if and when you saw courtships
displays.
Birds here in the SW corner of the basin remains very slow with the
first woody pair arriving yesterday. We have yet to see a Phoebe or Tree
Swallow let alone a Chippy!
Be well everyone,
John

_Dear MOS Member,_
_You will have doubtless seen Governor Hogan's order* of yesterday to
stay at home and have wondered how it will impact your birding
activities. This advisory is for your guidance on that impact._

_The Governor's order does not mention birding as an allowed outdoor
activity, only __walking, hiking, running, or biking (section II (b)
(v)). MOS recommends that you only bird around your yard and nearby.
One should still follow the social distance guideline of keeping 6 feet
apart from others and being in groups of no more than ten._
_I know this will disappoint all birders, but the COVID-19 pandemic is
best fought by slowing down its spread and the Governor's order will
help achieve this goal. So, by staying at home or close to home, we will
be helping to save lives. A sobering thought._
_Take care and best regards,_
_Robin_
