    The St. Mary's County Kelp Gull was NOT SEEN all day today, Monday,
March 1, despite birders looking for it from dawn to dusk. (I did not go at
first light today, but a birder from Olympia, Washington, was, and
reportedly did not see the bird even then.) Several dozen birders scanned
both restaurants' piers all day long, and Tyler Bell was there until almost
dark, to no avail.
    Weather today should not have been a factor. While windy and showery, it
was not as bad as several other days when the gull was present all day. Food
has not changed; Clifton put out raw oysters on the half shell in the
morning, but the kelp gull did not come.
    I'll be out at first light Tuesday, and will ask Tyler to post an
immediate update.

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