Re: [MDOsprey] Possible June Pelagics off MD

Mark, thanks for the additional info on the early summer
pelagics. I've mapped out a bit of a study outline for the next
two weeks so that I can get the full benefit from the trip. I find
pelagics a bit challenging on the ID scene.
Anyone out there with experience using Phenergan
(Promethazine) vice Bonine and other over the counter anti-
motion sickness pills, please chirp in.....
Belated response due to a Mem Day trip out to the E. Shore
to work on State and county birds. I'm sure Norm will leave a
note, so I won't repeat.
