Caroline County Bird Club's March 19, 2020 meeting cancelled

MOS is recommending we all cancel any indoors meetings this month because of COVID-19.

Additionally, following Gov Hogan's directive closing MD public schools and senior centers, the Caroline County Public Library will be closed March 16-28, reopening March 30.

So, no March 19 meeting. We rescheduled Chris Eberly for next November.

Instead, get outside and go birding instead! And wash your hands and stay safe.
