Hi all,


   Just got back from Ft. McHenry. I spent more than
an hour standing by at the boat dock and was ready to
give up when John Landers arrive. He just informed me
that Keith found the gull on other side yesterday at a
unknown Cove Marina at Fell Point. He post it on
MDOsprey this morning while I was at Horsehead at that
time. I studied the map of a location and found the
marina in the map at end of Thames St. The 2nd year
bird was swimming near the old pier at a hotel/condo
construction area. I already saw it Thurs afternoon as
soon as I saw the post and found the bird in a short
time as I have interview for a job nearby.   A big
thank you to John Landers for alert me right before I
was ready to head home today. 

   I heard some time ago that they are planning to
create a boardwalk all the way around the harbor in
front of hotel/condo/apt/office bldg. That would give
a better view at the waterfront to find any good
birds. It will be open to public soon.   Too many high
rise buildings either finish or still under
construction are all over the harbor/Fells Point area.


Earlier today at Horsehead, I found a Red-necked Grebe
with 6 Horned Grebes at Marshy Creek, and a adult
Orange-crowned Warbler at a private area called
Nostril (shaped like a horse's nose).   Will post full
report soon.
