I checked the flats at Havre de Grace at low tide this evening. No
spectatcular birds, although numbers of terns were high. Highlights:

Killdeer                20
Sanderling              3
Semi Sand               2
White-rumped Sand       1
Greater Yellowlegs      1
Forster's Tern          400
COMMON TERN             9 (fairly high number)
Caspian Tern            25
Great Black-back        200
Herring Gull            16
Ring-billed Gull        350
Laughing Gull           21

        Despite the persistence of other folks around the state, I have had
little luck finding migrant landbirds the past week. Warbler numbers have
been very low and the best birds were a five-day total of 7 Empis,
including one definite Yellow-bellied Flycatcher and one probable, as well
as one Least. The rest were either Acadians or unidents.
        Richard Hagenston gave me a perfect description of a Royal tern he
saw at Havre de Grace on Thursday (eight days ago), but I have had no luck
relocating it.
        The flycatcher in number 229 for the year in Harford County for me.
