In case you have an itching to come visit Toddville and Dorchester County, here are some happenings around the area (taken primarily from the monthly, What’s Happening…In Dorchester County)
Throughout the month of April:
Birds to See Around Toddville and Blackwater: Ducks and geese begin their nesting and bobwhites, turkeys, and osprey begin nesting. Middle of April sees the return of the majority of the migrant shore birds. April to May is the peak shore bird migration time and late April into May is the peak song bird migration time with warblers being particularly abundant. Blue- and green-winged teal are passing through. Delmarva fox squirrels give birth and bald eagles hatch.
