Conowingo today

I went to the Darlington Pharmacy today to refill a prescription.  Since
that is only about a mile from Conowingo Dam, I went over to see what
was going on. (Hey, I'm sick, not dead.)  Actually, I got a sandwich
first and went to the dam to eat it while I observed the birds.  There
was quite a bit of eagle activity - I probably saw 12 birds, including 3
adults and saw an immature catch a fish. I didn't even scan the other
shore so there were probably more that I didn't see.  There were
probably about 300 gulls present.  There was quite a lot of activity in
the corner where the Common Gull liked to hang out.  All appeared to be
adult Ring-bills except for one immature so I got out of the car long
enough to confirm that it was NOT the Common Gull.  Since I was scanning
only with binoculars, I couldn't tell if there was anything unusual on
the wall.
