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.

Dundalk Photo of the Day: Identify That Meal

Dundalk Patch presents its Photo of the Day.

Dundalk photographer Jimmy Rode spends considerable time at North Point State Park and other parks across the county and state. He must have incredible patience to get the shots he so willingly shares with Dundalk Patch, and today's image is another example of that patience and his dedication to his hobby of nature photography. In some of his most recent photo-shooting travels, Rode discovered this snake, resting in a tree after obviously enjoying a meal. Judging from the size of that lump, it looks like the snake ate something bigger than a field mouse—looks like it could be a chipmunk or something of that size. In any case, Rode's work makes nature photography look a lot easier than it is. He probably shoots hundreds of pictures to come …

Trap the darn thing and let it loose in Dundalk. It will probably do a better job of eliminating rats in our community than the county did.   more ›

Dundalk Photo of the Day: Out On a Limb

Dundalk Patch presents its Photo of the Day.

Signs of spring are everywhere, from flower beds full of daffodils to this week's summer-like temperatures. The Orioles—of the baseball variety—are back in town and farmers are plowing their fields. The trees are still mostly bare, but the greening of spring won't be long now. In today's Photo of the Day, Dundalk photographer Jimmy Rode gives us a look at a brown thrasher, perched in a still-winterized tree. 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 ›
