Jim Stasz spotted the Lesser Black-backed Gull this afternoon in Washington 
Co. just south of where the Antietam Creek empties into the Potomac.  By the 
time I arrived in the area the gull had flown up river.  Stasz and I drove 
up to the parking lot just south of the railroad bridge at Sheppardstown and 
walked down stream hoping to relocate the bird.  After walking a short 
distance south of the parking lot on the towpath we spotted the Lesser 
Black-back working its way back down the river where it was nice enough to 
land on a rock so we could get really good scope views of the bird. Hans and 
Jim both have photos of the bird.
