Dear All

Budding seabirder that I am I was wondering anyone might advise on the best 
place and conditions to sea decent seabirds - e.g. petrels, shearwaters & 
jaegers - in MD?  Looking at the map and reading the MD Osprey archives I 
presume that the Ocean City area is best and one would need a stiff onshore 
(easterly) to stand a chance of seeing anything. Most of the birds seem to 
be seen in early June so I was thinking of trekking over from DC to the 
OC/Assateague area to give it a go if the weather looked right.

Any advice on exact locations and conditions would be gratefully received.

Cheers 

Gary Allport


PS and please don't tell me I'm mad to even think about trying such a 
caper - I already know that.
