The St. Mary's County, MD Kelp Gull was not present on, Thursday, March 11, 1999, when Jane Kostenko stopped by at 6:45 or at 11:30. The Sea Breeze manager said that it had been there late morning but had flown off with most of the gulls that had been there earlier. It had been there yesterday when Jane and I saw it around 5 p.m. The folks at the Sea Breeze Restaurant have offered to give updates. You may call them at 301-373-5217.
