Loon chasers,

No sign of Waldo yet.  Waldo?  Large rafts of loons on the Patuxent
today with as many as 118 at the Sea Breeze and another 55 at
Greenwell.  So lots of loons to sort through, but no likely suspects yet
as of 10:45am.  Oh, we did refind the Common Loon with the yellow bill,
too.  The loons are actively feeding, so I have not lost hope yet. 
There were a couple dozen birders at the Sea Breeze this morning.

I just got a call from Patty Craig (rented a boat from Solomons and
birded the river up past the Sea Breeze).  150+ loons but no YBLO yet.

2 White-winged Scoters flew in, visible from Greenwell and I buzzed over
to my yard to tick #93 for the yard list this year (I'm pathetic, I
know).

I'm taking a break for a while and heading over to Talbot for the
Sandhill Crane.  I probably won't be back til after dark, so someone
else might want to pick up the posting of the Sandgates Loon.  So many
birds, so little time! :-)
