Howdy all! Does anyone have any more recent news on either the CURLEW SANDPIPER (latest I know of was July 12 at Bombay Hook in Shearness Pool) or the first-year YELLOW-LEGGED GULL at Port Mahon (don't remember off the top of my head--this one might be a month old)? Has anyone been out to Ted Harvey to look for WHITE-WINGED TERNS lately? I'm planning to at least look for the Sandpiper and the Tern this weekend along the Delaware Coast (Bombay Hook/Pt Mahon/Little Creek)--and, of course, anything else that might show up <grin>. It would be nice to have some extra eyes for this venture. If any of you are headed out that way anyway, I would enjoy birding with some of my home-town, MDOsprey folks. Sorry this post is at the last minute. Heck, my whole YEAR has gone so fast it's all seemed like last minute <sigh>. OK. It was at least a *happy* sigh! Just a worn-out, tired one. It's a tough job, but somebody's gotta do it <ha-ha-ha>. If I can yank myself outta bed early enough tomorrow, I hope to be at Bombay Hook Hdqtrs around 9:30am. I'll be driving a 92 Ford Explorer (dark green). Ahhh. This really narrows it down, eh? Ok. The driver of this vehicle will probably be the only birder wearing a Cleveland Indians baseball cap. Ouch! Don't think at me like that! Ok. I like *living* in Maryland and birding here, too. I just grew up rooting for my hometown boys (Cleveland) when they weren't worth anything. It's sentimental, you know. Oof. I hope I'm not running over someone else's planned trips! Oh, well. Forgive me. I haven't been here for most of the year and the rest of my life has been rather disorganized <blush>, unlike my birding <smile>. But now I'm rambling aimlessly and it's time to hit the hey. Good birding everyone! Greg Miller (still somewhat jetlagged), Lusby, MD (I do *live* here, don't I?)
