Atlased on the north end of Assateague Island on 07 Jul, from 1430 to 1906.
Few "atlas birds", but several other goodies.

 

Started doing some ocean watching, a steady stream of Wilson's Storm-Petrels
were headed north, eventually totaled 10 for the day.  I then spotted a
distant shearwater, which I believe was a Cory's, but it was way out there.
Fortunately, the next two were quite close to the beach and were clearly
Greaters.  Had one Cory's/Greater(sp.) and then two more Greaters later in
the day.  This is the first time I have seen Greater Shearwater from land in
MD!

 

At the "Curlew Sandpiper Flats" was a single adult Roseate Tern in full
breeding plumage, still with a complete black cap, pinkish wash across a
brilliant white breast/underparts, long tail streamers, etc.  Seen on the
flats with a Common Tern for 10+ minutes then eventually flew to the north.
Unfortunately, too distant for photos.
