Dave,

To my knowledge the last day this bird was seen was by Jeff Culler on
Saturday, July 3rd.  People have been looking for it, at least briefly, most
days this week without success.

Hi Everyone,

I chased a few birds the past two days with moderate success. 

On Thursday, I traveled to North Vaughn and had great looks at a Gull-billed
Tern flying around the pond on the right.  Viewing the fourth street flats
from Hoopers, I was able to find a Sandwich Tern among the resting Royal
Terns. I looked for a Ruff at several places with no success. I figured if
Delaware had for or five at different places, MD should have one.

Today, I tried for the Howard County Dickcissel with no success. Has anyone
seen this bird recently? Thanks for great directions, the church is a great
viewing spot.

Regards,
