Hi All: 2 days before Xmas with lots to do, my husband and I headed to Ocean City inlet.It was a busy spot today, with Common Eider ( 3 adult males in beautiful plummage, 1 first year male ) and Harlequin Ducks obligingly perched on rocks in the same field of view!! Also present: Red-breasted Merg Common & Red_throated loon Gannet Purple Sandpiper Oystercatcher Ruddy Turnstone Surf Scoter Brant on the 4th st. flats. The Griffin Rd. and West Ocean ponds also held a good assortment of waterfowl. Happy Hollydays Leslie Fisher, North East MD
