After most of the rain had fallen I tried to do some birding in the
southern part of St. Mary's County.  I found very few places to access
the water.  Pt. Lookout State Park was closed at the entrance and so was
Elms Beach.  The roads were closed to quite a few areas such as St.
George's Island, but I finally found some terns at Kitt's Point.  There
were about 150 terns that were mainly Common Terns.  There was one Black
Tern, 19 Forster's Terns and 5 Royal Terns.  The best bird that I found
was a Cliff Swallow.

I guess from Kyle's messages that Pax River was the place to be.  Great
birds!  Sorry I missed them.

Good Birding,
