While there were 15,000+ gulls I was unable to pick out any rarities. Let it be known that I was not there Birding (in a dump trunk delivering trash), I did however have my binos and only scanned the area for 10-15 minutes. Most of the gulls where down within the main cell and hard to see from the landfill roads. -----Original Message----- From: Gail Mackiernan [mailto:gail@MDSG.UMD.EDU] Sent: Saturday, January 11, 2003 8:14 AM To: MDOSPREY@HOME.EASE.LSOFT.COM Subject: Re: [MDOSPREY] Brown Station Landfill Hi Sue -- What are the rules on visiting Brown's Station -- do we need to prior permission, or can we just arrive and ask permission (and if so, from whom?) With so few landfills in operation now, Brown's Station is a real treasure (despite its, er, aroma...!)
