Cover every other 5 or 6 oceanfront streets to see gannets and ducks and had about 300 gannets and quite a few scoters mostly Surf and some White-winged. Also did cover some bayfront that have access to it and a lot of loons and double-crested Cormorants and many Red-breasted Mergansers. Saw the Ash-throated Flycatcher near the Visitor Center, I didn't know about it until one non-member birder mentioned it to me in the Visitor Center and show me the way from the center to the old house and the field and it took me 18 minutes to search the area and finally found it. It was beautiful bird. It was cold that day and it doesn't bother this bird one bit. I check the field guide to see where it came from and was found in the Southwest. On Sat, had some pipits, horned larks and many meadowlark and one snow bunting at several country roads west of Nassawango Rd. and many, many geese of both species while with my cousin from Ocean City to his farm on Rt 364. Will post on all species I have seen at O.C., Assateague and my cousin's farm and some other sites tomorrow night.
