Whether you’ve never picked up a pair of binoculars before or you are an experienced birder, you’re sure to find some interesting feathered friends in Calvert County! According to the Maryland Ornithological Society, Calvert County has had over 330 reported bird species. Most of the county is rural and habitats include tidal wetlands, freshwater marshes, beaches, forests, meadows, bay and river shorelines and even a cypress swamp. Calvert County is home to both common and notable bird species.
