Today the tide was higher at 1:30 . There were no Bald Eagles this time but plenty of TVs . I did see 5 Caspian Terns slowly and powerfully gliding and dipping for fish. Black cap, orange beak, gray back. I was surprised to see such a variety of waterfowl still there - temp 60 degrees 6-Canvasback 4-Bufflehead 2-RB Mergansers 30 -Scaup and in another group 40-Ruddies 4 Northern Shovelers bright sun - very nice Harry Lotis Upper Marlboro Harry.lotis@mms.gov ======================================================================= To leave the MDOsprey list, send e-mail to listserv@home.ease.lsoft.com with the following message in line 1: signoff mdosprey ======================================================================= =========================================================================
