Quick note. I've plucked a couple branches of the So.Md. phone twig
and got no response. At 1515, with the rain subsiding and wind
slacking off (just a little bit, but not much), I braved a walk out
onto our Chesapeake Bay seaplane basin seawall to check out a flock of
terns at the mouth of the basin. Small flock of only 40-50 birds
contained 1-2 Bridled Terns and at least 2 Sooty Terns, wheeling and
turning wildly in the wind.
I'm heading back out right now with a life jacket and a camera to try
for some photos. Birds are plenty close enough for good pics, just
buzzing by at mach oh-my-god!
Miscellaneous stuff includes another Sandwich Tern, a couple Ruddy
Turnstones, Willets, and Sanderlings. Will post more later.
