One of the GBBG had something edibly fishy and the Kelp Gull gave quite a few calls as it joined the melee chasing the GBBG. A note posted from Marshall Iliff says he saw the Kelp Gull on January 11 as well. Jane Kostenko jkostenko@somd.lib.md.us California, Maryland Yesterday is history; tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. That's why they call it the PRESENT. ================================================================= To unsubscribe send a message to listserv@home.ease.lsoft.com with the following message in line 1: signoff mdosprey ==========================================================================================================================================
