Hello All!

My husband just got back from a trip aboard the Pride of Baltimore, sailing from Newport, RI  to Solomons, MD.  While they were off the coast of NJ (somwhere between Atlantic City and Cape May), a migrating Cedar Waxwing stopped by for a rest aboard the ship.

The bird didn't seem to be at all bothered by the people on his "floating island", but just sat for a while to re-charge in the sun before continuing his journey south.

I guess this sort of counts as a Maryland siting, as the Pride does belong to us!

Here are a couple of pictures for those who are interested.
