Bill:

You might want to save yourself the trip since the Kelp Gull hasn't been
seen since Sunday afternoon. But, if you decide to come down (who knows
if/when the gull might return), you should make the extra drive to Pt.
Lookout State Park at the southern tip of the county. Diving ducks are
staging along the rivers and on the bay and are in large numbers now. You
should easily see all 3 scoters, lesser and greater scaup, common
goldeneye, horned grebe, oldsquaw, common loon, maybe red-throated loon.
There is also a possibility of seeing a good selection of gulls and
probably northern gannets along the Potomac and Bay and probably some
lingering great cormorants on the markers to the south of the point.

If you don't want to drive all that way, you can see most of the ducks
(minus the scoters) along the Patuxent from the Sea Breeze.

Good Birding!

My wife and I plan to visit St Mary's County this weekend to look for the
Kelp Gull and other birds that we might find.  Are there any places we
should be sure to visit besides the Seabreeze?

Thanks in advance,

Bill
