I went to Blackfriar Rd to look for the Pacific Loon today. Stayed from about 10:00 a.m. until 11:00 a.m. I say no loons of any kind. I did see 6 Bufflehead, and 15 Common Mergansers. Later at the dam, I saw many Ring-billed, Herring, and Great Black-backed Gulls; no Lessers, and no Bonaparte's; several Bald Eagles, including 2 adults; and approximately 200 Black Vultures. At the warf in Harve de Grace there were about 6 American Coot. Elliot Kirschbaum Baltimore, MD USA mailto:ekirschb@bcpl.net
