Barry's report from his day in MD/DE (and NJ!) was pretty slim. He took the
1:30 Cape May Ferry over and back, and saw...nada. No Masked Booby, no
Sooty Terns, not even any Wilson's SP. Oh well...

He stopped at the John Brown Rd. Turf Farm and saw six Am. Golden Plover
*and*, bird of the day, a single Buff-breasted Sandpiper. This was about
5:00 pm. He said they had irrigated and there were a lot of birds, mostly
Starlings, at the pools and wet grass.

He also saw two Upland SPs at the Dover AFB, flying over Rt. 9 near the
entrance to the Museum.

Weather next to the coast was stormy, it cleared up (on the way back) as he
reached Denton.
