Hi all,
I was supposed to go back to my weekend home Fri
night. My boss ordered me to work yesterday because of
two staffs taking off that day.
I left before 4pm and decided to go to Mason-Dixon
farm. At my arrival, I ran into Kathy Brown who had
spotted two Black Terns in flight. Beautiful bird.
Later I was joined by a couple from Howard County,
forgot their names and also Jerry & Laura Tarbell and
Greg Klein. We all had great look at female Red-necked
Phalarope through scope.
