Hi all
Sorry for the delay. I was waiting for last report
from others, and had to run on manpower call to Bel
Air (mutual aid). Bel Air's all three ambulances
already on calls and called us for Bel Air's fourth
medical call in less than 15 minutes with our medic
unit and utility truck which I was on for manpower
assist and later to a working car fire, fully involved
in our town about three hours ago and to work for
about an hour on railroad in basement.
Hey Stan Arnold, i think you got our Bonaparte's Gulls
at Wades Point on Sat, we all saw a flock of 16 headed
south toward Wades Point from Horsehead.
Very busy day for waterfowl, biggest rafts of Ruddy
Ducks in two area: 5919 in four rafts at Marshy Creek
and 1307 in a single raft at Prospect Bay.
