About 7 PM we had 10 individual flying back toward the Harry W. Nice Bridge. We needed the scope for better looks but Gwen found them with her binos. Billy's Crab House is on Pope's Creek Road in Faulkner. Take Rt. 301 South out of La Plata for about 6 miles. Turn right onto Pop's Creek Road. The crab house is about 3 miles down Pope's Creek Road. I have expected this species in the county for several years and, thanks to the sharp eyes of Dr. Brewer, I have a new county bird for my list. Enjoy your birds. George George M.
