We especially searched the marshy area south of the "campground" at Indian River inlet, but found none. There were Palm Warbler and Horned Lark in the campground itself. In the channel, tho', we saw an adult and a first winter f White-winged Scoter; ~50 Bon'p's Gulls off-shore (a mere echo of the 500 in the channel 2 weeks ago), and ~ 20 Purple Sandpipers. Nearby, a Tri-color heron flew past. At Little Creek, along the dike, we saw at least 5 Am Bitterns,some quite close, tho' none of the target sparrows. At Pt Mahon, there were 2 Least Sandpipers mixed in with ~100 Dunlin. Also, at the impoundment, some 35 PB Grebes and ~ 60 Coot - all mixed tightly together with a few Shovellers. In the marshes at Prime Hook at sunset, there were 2 GH Owls, but no Short-eareds were seen. - Fred & Jane Fallon fwfallon@mnsinc.com Bowie MD =============== Norm Saunders Colesville, MD osprey@ari.net
