Aaaaargh. I made a brief scan up and down the Patuxent River this morning from 7:10-7:15am from my yard (near Greenwell). No Yellow-billed Loon. Hope visitors to the Sea Breeze will have better success. I propose a new banding code for Yellow-billed Loon (esp for Maryland). It should be changed from YBLO to DALO (i.e. DANG LOON). In fact, I can think of a number of species that have reached "DANG" status in my opinion. <grin> -Greg Miller Hollywood, MD ===== __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
