Dundalk Photo of the Day: 'Oriole Magic'

Dundalk Patch presents its Photo of the Day.

The Baltimore Orioles, by playing Orioles baseball the old-fashioned way that older loyal fans remember, are enjoying a new fan base and a new love from Baltimore. They may have allowed the final game of a four-game series against the Oakland Athletics get away from them Sunday but, as the saying goes, you can't win them all. Dundalk photographer Jimmy Rode pays homage to the baseball Birds with this shot of a Baltimore Oriole, taken recently at North Point State Park in Edgemere. View previous Photos of the Day here.

If you're gonna show us snakes in North Point Park, do them critters and us a favor - name the species photographed. I'm not much of a snake handler, but I've had to deal with a few through the years. In northern Maryland, I've had a heck of a time telling a nonvenomous Water Snake from the similar looking venomous Copperhead. And they look similar so the Water Snake can scare away natural wild …   more ›

All my life - when in Dundalk near Bullneck Creek or any other Chesapeake Bay backwater - about once every 2 or 3 years I've luckily enjoyed watching a muskrat swim by. One time, one swam so close I got a good whiff of it's sharp, somewhat naturally pleasant musk; I sat motionless, and then it "chortled" to another muskrat off a short distance out of my sight. The sound it made was a kind of "It'…   more ›

Photo of the Day: Photographer Spotted

Dundalk Patch presents its Photo of the Day.

Dundalk nature photographer Jimmy Rode has become a regular contributor to Dundalk Patch's Photo of the Day feature, and many people have asked about him. Photographer Kevin Moore, a friend of Rode's from his school days, offered a collage of pictures of Rode with his children, Adam and Yasmine, on a photo shoot at North Point State Park, where he has taken many beautiful pictures of widlife and scenery. Many of you might know Rode in another role. When he isn't shooting pictures or being a devoted family man, he's slinging drinks at the Bay Cafe, where he's known for his great service, constant smile and terrific sense of humor. In full disclosure, I was a classmate of both Moore and Rode at Kenwood High School in the (decade redacted). …
