The St. Mary's County, MD, Kelp Gull still is showing up at the Sea
Breeze Restaurant, though not with any discernible schedule (that is, not at
any one given time of day or day of the week or climatic condition, and
never when I pop in to see it!)
In summary, the Kelp Gull has been seen:
June 8 most of the day (per manager)
June 9 not seen (per visiting PA birders who spent most of the day
there)
June 10 off and on all day (arriving after the PA birders left for home)
June 11 seen in the morning, per manager
June 12 seen in "the evening" per Sea Breeze staff (we were busy seeing
Little Egret in DE!)
June 13 off and on all day, except in the morning when we took our
visiting company by to see it
June 14 seen 7:30-9:30 a.m. by MI birder on his second try; Kelp Gull
was at both Sea Breeze and Sandgates piers.
June 15 gull there all day and in to evening hours, per manager
June 16 gull showed up around 4:15 p.m. (and wasn't there when I got
there at 5:40-5:55 p.m.)

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