I went out Saturday at Jug Bay (PG Co) and had a great day until a nasty
storm hit at 6:30.  I was out from 5:30am - 6:30pm with 12 hours total
birding, incl. about 3.5 by boat on the river (7:15-11:00am) with Greg
Kearns (party of 6), and 8.5 (alone) in Patuxent River Park by car and on
foot (Selby's to Mt Calvert).  Several breaks for notes and eating took
about 1 hour.  Complete tally sent to Fred Fallon (County Coord.).

There were numerous (10+) species conspicuously missing, especially white-
throated and swamp sparrows (both left here Thurs or Fri night); also
kingfisher; two woodpeckers; and several breeding raptors/owls; however
with nice "surprises" I still observed 101 species (1,462 individuals).
Species with relatively high numbers included:

Great Blue Heron  28
Canada Goose  69
Wood Duck  28
Osprey  34
Laughing Gull  108
Foster's Tern  22
Acadian Flycatcher  24
