Visiting birders can socialize at “Tally Rallies” hosted by restaurants and breweries held across the region. Locally, Burley Oak Brewing Company in Berlin and M.R. Duck’s in downtown Ocean City are hosting tallies. More than 200 species have been recorded during this weekend festival.
There’s also several boating excursions planned for the long weekend, like the Shorebird Explorer, which will leave the Talbot Street dock in Ocean City on April 29. The boat will take visitors on a two-hour tour around Skimmer Island and north shore of Assateague Island, perfect for those that need to check coastal bird species of their lists like Purple Sandpiper and Royal Tern.
