Subject: Kelp Gull "Logistics" Update
In this message, let me treat the logistics, rather than the ID ...
Date: Monday, February 15, 1999
Location: The bird is south of Mechanicsville, Maryland (St. Mary's County).
Directions: From the Washington, DC beltway follow Route 5 South to the
town of Waldorf. From north (Baltimore) or east (Annapolis), take US 301
South to Waldorf. Routes 5 and 301 converge just before Waldorf.
Just as you enter Waldorf, follow Route 5 where it turns left (this is a
new bypass around the Waldorf business district--for the locals and old
timers, the bypass used to be named Rt 205). Continue to follow Rt 5
(including where it turns left again at a traffic light). About 20 miles
south of Waldorf, Rt 5 makes a right turn, however the main 2-lane road
continues straight and becomes Rt 235. Continue on Rt 235. Approximately
4 ½ miles south of this point, turn left onto Route 472 (Sandgates Road).
Follow Rt 472 for about 2 ½ miles until you come to the (Patuxent)
river. You will see two restaurants, the Sandgates Inn and the Seabreeze
Restaurant and Crab House. This is where the gull has been. These
restaurants have reasonably-sized parking lots (at least the Sandgates' is
fairly large). Since it's winter, I expect restaurant traffic will be
fairly light.
