        Gene Scarpulla, Bryan Blazie, and I covered the Cecil County
landfill on the Elkton CBC on Saturday. Although gull numbers were quite
high we had no  real rarities and the lanbirding was extremely slow.
Highlights were:

Laughing Gull                   1
Lesser Black-backed Gull        3 (2 ad, 1 1st winter)

        A bird I suspect was a 1st-winter California Gull, but which Gene
and Bryan are uncertain about, was seen too briefly to be submitted.
        For one of the few times, Herrings greatly outnumbered Ring-bills
(10,000 to 2,000), but that produced no white-wings for us, perhaps because
the count is early in the period and the year had been exceptionally warm.
