Club Trip to Susquehanna Park, MD


Cynthia LaPara offers the following info.....



On April 18th, 8 members of the Four Seasons Garden Club of Kennett Square and their guests visited Susquehanna Park, in Maryland. We saw bald eagles and other water birds, and a bald eagle’s nest, with both parents coming and going, bringing food for the young. Then we walked along the path by the river, where native plants were blooming in their native habitat. The weather was beautiful and the flowers were near their peak. In all, we saw or heard 18 species of birds and identified 29 species of plants, most of them native and most in bloom. The high points of the trip were seeing the activity at the bald eagle’s nest and walking through a field of Virginia bluebells. We ended the trip with a stop at the Spready Oak Country CafĂ© on Route 1 for lunch. Great trip!!
