The St. Mary's County, MD Kelp Gull was NOT present 
at first light this morning, Friday, March 19, 1999, 
when Tyler Bell arrived around 7:30 a.m until 
he left at 8:00 a.m. The last confirmed sighting
was Sunday, March 14 though the Sea Breeze Restaurant
manager said someone reported the bird flying over
the river on Wednesday, March 17 at 4 p.m. There were
very few gulls along the river this morning and
it appears that some or most of the Ring-billed and
Herring Gulls have started to move north.

The folks at the Sea Breeze Restaurant have offered
to give updates. You may call them at 301-373-5217.

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