US Route 1. At the traffic light, .3 mi., turn right onto Foundry Street passing both the Bollman Truss Bridge and the Antique Mill Market , passing Washington street to Baltimore Street. The Faith and Ministry Center is to your right. Doors open at 6:15 p.m President Bob Wolfe Freestate Presidents Remarks (301) 879-6898 [email protected] FHW – President’s Remarks. We are slowly returning to a sense of normalcy, although we have a ways to go still. We’ve held club meetings in the parking lot of the Faith and Ministry center where we could be outside and socially distance. We just returned to an inside meeting this month. In May we held our election of officers virtually. All four of us were willing to run again, and we were re-elected. So I am continuing as President, Tom Mosely as Vice President, Linda Hassell as Secretary and Sue Barna as Treasurer. Traditional events are now being held again, although many have been postponed until 2021. Mary and I walked Columbia’s event at Centennial Lake in July. Nice walking with you Barb and Pam for a bit. We had a group walk at Downs Park in August followed by a picnic lunch at the Hassell’s. Thanks for having us; and it was good to see some of you again. Annapolis Amblers had a nice walk at Serena Park that several of did. Also look for Baltimore’s upcoming event in Havre de Grace on October 10th. We are still going forward with our October event at the St. Nicholas Catholic church in Laurel on Saturday October 17th. The address is 8603 Contee Road, Laurel, MD. Their bazaar is not going to be held, so we reduced this to a one day event. The start times are between 9:30 and 12:00. Thanks to Rita and Mike Goerling for organizing this event. We are still planning on doing our New Year’s events, although we are currently explor- ing options on food and the start/finish configuration depending on the situation. Freestate rescheduled our April Fairland Park event to be a Black Friday event on Novem- ber 27th. However, look for announcements to ensure this event is still on. We’re still coordinating with Maryland Park and Planning on the start point and reopening of the facility. We should know more in October. Thanks to Bob Lumbert for sanctioning our YRE events for next year. We’re adding a YRE next year at Fort Smallwood Park in Pasadena, MD, thanks to Barbara Esker. Most of the start points of our YREs have now reopened, although as I write this the Ocean City con- vention center is still closed, and the Brookside Gardens visitor center is only open from 10 am until 2 pm. Despite the start point being closed for 5 months, I’ve had 9 different people walk the Brookside Gardens events over 140 times. The gardens and regional park never closed, and the flowers are still nice with the new gardens from the renova- tions a couple years ago taking shape. Freestate Presidents Remarks President Bob Wolfe The AVA has evolved and now offers new capabilities to help with these changing times. We can now generate a .pdf sheet of event’s stamps that can be cut and then pasted or taped into your books. I have the ability to generate them via my.ava.org with our club account and then email them to the participants. I’ve done that a lot for those walking Brookside Gardens, and if someone walks your event and needs “stamped,” please have them email me. This can also essentially eliminate insert cards, since they can be done for any event. Please note this if someone forgets their books and does your event. We can also now sanction YRE events as a Parallel Registration, meaning both a physical walk box and as an On-Line Start Box (OLSB) event. The Seneca Sugarloafers have converted their YREs to this, and we are look- ing to do this for Mt. Airy. It adds flexibility if the start point closes. As a POC there’s some extra work with the OLSB directions and approval, but this seems like a logical option for most events. For those of us walking in our neighborhoods, the Virtual Online Program Walking the Appalachian Trail is still ongoing. I completed the program on June 24th. ”So you can’t see beyond the bend in the road? So watch whereyou’re walking in the meantime.” ”NEXT FREESTATE HAPPY WANDERERS WALK EVENT October 17, 2020 – Freestate walk event at St. Nicholas Catholic Church, Laurel, MD details on AVA.org and on FHW webpage.

  • Ricciardi 2018
    Fall 2018 Maryland Birdlife Volume 67, Number 2 Maryland Birdlife 67(2):79–83 2018 Spring Raptor Migration at Fort Smallwood Park, Anne Arundel County, Maryland Sue A. Ricciardi 1132 Ferber Avenue, Arnold, Maryland 21012-1837 [email protected] Spring 2018 brought mixed results, with some impressive counts, but also with some that were very concerning. The season’s total number of migrant raptors, 10,314, was above the ten-year (2008–2017) average of 10,130 (Table 1). Coverage of 468 hours and 83 days was in each case within a few percentage points of average. Turkey Vulture, Osprey, Cooper’s Hawk, Bald Eagle, and Red-shouldered Hawk had season counts above their 5-year (2013–2017) averages. Ospreys, especially, were delightfully numerous; the count of 699 was the second highest ever. Sadly, Northern Harrier, Sharp-shinned Hawk, Broad- winged Hawk, Red-tailed Hawk, and American Kestrel continued their long- term and worrisome declines. To illustrate, the daily record high count for American Kestrel is 387, achieved in 2004. However, the entire count for this season was just 88. The Sharp-shinned Hawk low count of 598 is unprecedented. Only once since significant coverage began in 1993 has the seasonal count been less than 1000 and that was 845 in 2013. Percent changes in season counts are displayed in the Table 1. Although Cooper’s Hawk had a positive 5-year percent change, the long-term trend is also in the downward direction. Merlin numbers have undergone more variability over the years, so that the negative percent changes shown are not significant.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Colleen Joseph Chief Marketing and Events/PIO Anne Arundel County Department of Recreation and Parks [email protected] 410-507-6862 Anne Arundel County Department of Recreation and Parks Places Donation Trailers at Four Regional Parks Annapolis, MD (April 14, 2020) The Anne Arundel County Department of Recreation and Parks in cooperation with the Anne Arundel County Food Bank, Office of Emergency Management and Right Away Storage will have donation trailers in place starting Wednesday, April 15th, to encourage park visitors to donate non-perishable food items. The food bank has been experiencing a 200% increase in the numbers of residents who rely on the food pantries located throughout the county. Donating is considered an essential reason to leave your home. The trailers will be located at the four regional parks listed below. ● Quiet Waters Park - 600 Quiet Waters Park Rd, Annapolis ● Kinder Farm Park - 1001 Kinder Farm Park Rd, Millersvlle ● Downs Park - 8311 John Downs Loop, Pasadena ● Fort Smallwood Park - 9500 Fort Smallwood Rd,Pasadena “Bringing a food item in lieu of park fees is a great way to enjoy the park while helping out residents in need,” said County Executive Pittman. “Donations to the food bank are down, and this additional assistance from the Rec & Parks team, Office of Emergency Management, and Right Away Storage comes at an especially critical time. I thank everyone for stepping up and doing whatever is necessary to help.” Donation trailers will be available during normal park hours (7:00 a.m. to dusk). They will be placed as close to the park gatehouse as possible for easy access to residents dropping off donation items.

    ANNE ARUNDEL COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS BUREAU OF ENGINEERING WATERSHED, ECOSYSTEM, AND RESTORATION SERVICES TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM To: Rich Eskin, MDE, Director of Science Services From: Hala Flores, P.E., DPW, WERS Program Manager Through: Ginger Ellis, DPW, WERS Planning Administrator Copy: Ronald Bowen, P.E., Director Janis Markusic, WERS Program Manager Date: 5/7/2010 Re: Methods and procedures for developing the Anne Arundel County Baseline Pollutant Loads by Sector Anne Arundel County presented a preliminary draft tabulation of the County’s Baseline Pollutant loads by jurisdictional sectors at the April 27, 2010 Watershed Implementation Plan (WIP) meeting. Subsequently and as requested at the meeting, this memorandum offers a brief documentation of the methods and procedures utilized in the development of these loads. It is understood that this draft documentation is in active development and reflects the current available data, assumptions, coefficients, and other parameters within the model. It is noted that this documentation accounts for comments and requests made in the April 27th meeting and will be updated to reflect future comments and WIP committee consensus. To conserve efforts and cost, a new model run will not be conducted until this documentation is reviewed, all data are received, and consensus is reached to rerun the model. Water Quality Modeling (Overview of Methods) The model used by Anne Arundel County Government to estimate the pollutant load is based on the PLOAD- EPA Simple Method, which is integrated into the EPA BASINS program. The model utilizes Arcview analysis and Excel spreadsheet calculations to estimate the edge-of-field pollutant loads from various landcovers and their associated loading rates.
