The loons who showed up (notwithstanding the COLOs on the bay) were: Walter Ellison, Peter Mann, and Cathy Carroll from Baltimore, who drove 2 hours to stand in the rain. It was raining when we got there. We noticed some folks were out on the bay in an open cockpit sailboat, which allowed us plenty of fun deriding people who were soo obsessive. It stopped raining as we got to Bogle's Wharf, and didn't start until we got to the Headquarters. It was, however, surprisingly birdy. The list includes 50 species: Common Loon Double-crested Cormorant Ruddy Duck Tundra Swan Canada Goose Mallard American Black Duck Northern Pintail Greater Scaup Lesser Scaup Common Goldeneye Bufflehead Hooded Merganser Red-breasted Merganser Great Blue Heron Black Vulture Turkey Vulture Osprey Bald Eagle Sharp-shinned Hawk American Kestrel Ring-billed Gull Great Black-backed Gull Herring Gull Lesser Black-backed Gull Bonaparte's Gull Laughing Gull Forster's Tern Mourning Dove Yellow-bellied Sapsucker Northern Flicker American Crow Cedar Waxwing American Robin Northern Mockingbird European Starling Carolina Wren Ruby-crowned Kinglet Golden-crowned Kinglet Carolina Chickadee American Goldfinch Yellow-rumped Warbler Song Sparrow Swamp Sparrow White-throated Sparrow Dark-eyed Junco Northern Cardinal Red-winged Blackbird Common Grackle Brown-headed Cowbird Peter C.
