Guys,

I'm sorry this isn't Maryland-related.  I promise I will try to avoid = doing this in the future!  However, Paul McConnell asked me where the = Iceland Gull is located.  I know he's on the beach at Port Mahon, = Delaware, but I don't know what the name of the road is or how to get = there.  If anyone could e-mail me or Paul (aidansm@concentric.net) and = let us know details on getting there, I'd really appreciate it.  I would = have had Matt Hafner (who found the bird for me) give Paul directions, = but Matt's internet is down, because AOL sucks.

Well, I won't completely avoid Maryland birds here.  These are the stats = for birds banded at my college (CCBC Essex) this spring...
