        Made a brief midday stop at Conowingo Dam today. I missed Don
Burggraf but found an adult female peregrine harassing pigeons and Black
Vultures below the dam. The Red-necked Grebe is still present, about 1/4
mile above the dam on the Cecil County side. Nothing else of note except
500+ Bonaparte's Gulls (and many more gulls too far upriver to ID) and 9
Forster's Terns. The failure to find any good small gulls is not, IMHO, a
challenge to the Blom/Obrien Law of Bonaparte's Gulls ("Any time you find
1000 or more Bonaparte's Gulls in Maryland you ought to find at least a
Little or a Black-headed."). I figure I just missed the good stuff.
        I will be checking for the goose and the loon early tomorrow.
