>For those who may be interested in travelling 5 miles outside of the PA
>border, the Slaty-backed Gull was seen again this a.m. at Conowingo Dam
>(Harford Co. MD). It was first spotted (after extensive searching) just
>before 8:30 on rocks to the right of the breakwater. After preening there
>for a while (5-10 min?), it flew to search for food, and a couple of us
>managed to follow it for a couple of minutes longer before losing it in the
>mob. Early a.m. and late p.m. seem to be the best times for it at the dam.
>It *may* be travelling up into PA in the middle of the day, if anyone cares
>to search it out...
