I spent 11AM to 3PM at Point Lookout on Monday 9/6 looking at 
terns.  There was a large feeding flock in the bay a couple miles 
offshore.  With the 'scope I could make out several of what appeared to 
be all-dark terns.  Unfortunately they did not come close enough for an 
identifiable view and the flock eventually broke up and scattered down 
the bay.  Terns that flew by close enough to identify included 
Forster's, Common, Royal, and Sandwich.  The latter was an immature that 
flew over the point parking lot.  There were lots of DC Cormorants and 
the standard gulls and a few Brown Pelicans around.  Two turnstones flew 
by.
