The Harford Bird Club had a field trip to Lapidum yesterday so I was 
there from 7:30-10:30. I did not know about the Ross's Gull report at 
that time. The light was bad from the Harford side, so we couldn't check 
out the gulls that were downstream; we had to wait for them to fly 
upstream. A Black-headed Gull was seen but not Little Gulls while I was 
there. The best birds of the day were four Long-tailed Ducks which are 
rarely seen at Lapidum.

I see that Chuck Litterst's report and the report on DE-Birds have been 
reposted on MDOsprey, so you know that they didn't see anything either.

Bob Schutsky, who lives just over the PA line and can see the river from 
his living room, is keeping an eye on what flys by there.

The eagle looked down on the river below
And he wrapped his wings round him and he fell like a stone
And the big salmon fought but the talons held true
And he shuddered as the world turned from silver to blue
