It was strikingly obvious when the bird was in flight. Rick, I was at Havre de Grace briefly on Saturday around 12:30 and saw this bird, but I only got a short look as some gulls chased it behind the island out of view. The impression I had was a gull sized bird that was black with a white "halo" around it. Really weird looking. I had no idea what it was and didn't have time to persue it, so I am glad you could identify it. Les Les Eastman les_eastman@netfox.net Havre de Grace, MD
