The St. Mary's County, MD Kelp Gull was present
from about 8:30m. today, Sunday, March 21 1999,
and was still there when we left it at 930 a.m., though 
it had flown off upriver and dropped to the water, 
out of sight.

I forgot to mention Saturday that it was vocalizing 
much more frequently, especially any time another 
gull flew overhead. Today the Kelp Gull nailed a 
Ring-billed Gull with an audible thwack, and was 
definitely feelin' it's shrimp (though it declined those 
proffered this morning).

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.
