Howdy all! I'm back from the Pac NW. Update soon. Got in Thursday morning at 3am, bushed but happy (up to 677 for the year). Went into work and soon found out about the Whiskered Tern at Cape May. I called and it had been seen the day before. Pulled some teeth at work (do they have any left? <grin>) and left at noon. Arrived at 4:45pm. Stayed until dark. Several Least Bitterns were around the edges of the Bunker pool. Saw a single White-rumped Sandpiper, too. No Whiskered Tern all day 8/13. Oh, well. Back on the road again. Got home at 2am and in bed by 3am...again. Short day at work today again and I'm off this evening for the Outer Banks again. Patteson pelagics scheduled for 8/15-16. Hope I have better luck than 2 wks ago! More later Greg Miller Lusby, MD
