The St. Mary's County, MD Kelp Gull was present at 
first light this morning, Tuesday, February 23, 1999, 
when I arrived around 6:35 a.m. The bird was on the 
pilings behind the Sea Breeze Restaurant and flying 
back and forth giving its "caw, caw, caw" flight call.

The Kelp Gull has been present daily since first 
identified on Sunday, February 14, 1999. It has been 
seen from dawn to dusk every day except Thursday, 
February 18 when it flew off at 3 p.m.

If you need directions, please feel free to email me. 
Or you can check on Jack Siler's Birding on the Web
under Daily Mail, MDOsprey.

Yesterday is history; tomorrow is a mystery.
Today is a gift. That's why they call it the PRESENT.
