Just back from my fifth no-luck try for the St. George's Island yellow-billed loon in St. Mary's County. Harvey Mudd and Estelle Vincent were both already there when I arrived, and they, too, had no exciting prospects. Harvey had been there since 11:30 a.m. and I left them both there when I left at 12:55 p.m. Jane Kostenko jkostenko@osprey.smcm.edu california, md
