Dear Ospreyers, While down at the ocean this past week, I had the chance to sneak away for a day and bird. I hit Assateague, North Pocomoke Swamp, and the Ocean City Flats. The high surf and rough winds cut down at the number of sea birds I did see (Black Skimmer a very unfortunate omission), but did see a few good birds. Lots of willets, sanderlings, and oystercatchers. The one life bird for me was a Blue Grosbeak near Whaleyville. Thanks to those who gave me all the tips! Scott Guzewich Bel Air
