Calvert County Bluebird Trails

Calvert County is located in Southern Maryland. A peninsula bordered on the west by the Patuxent River and on the east by the Chesapeake Bay, much of the county is rural with major agricultural crops being corn, soybeans and tobacco. Large, open fields bordered by woodlands are conducive to the presence of Eastern Bluebirds (Sialia sialis) who are year-round residents. The Calvert Bluebird Council, headquartered at the Nature Center at Battle Creek Cypress Swamp oversees the monitoring of 11 official trails with 246 boxes throughout the county. At season's end the results are compiled (see Annual Data).    Trail Locations                           Twin Shields Golf Course  Poplars Farm Huntingtown NRMA Kings Landing Park Randle Cliffs Industrial Park Hance Farm Biscoe Gray Property Jefferson Patterson Park Patuxent/Hellen Creek (formerly Preston-on-the-Patuxent) Dominion Cove Point LNG Plant   Interested in monitoring a bluebird trail in Calvert County?
