Hello everyone,
I headed down to the Eastern Shore today to see if I could find anything 
that may have shown up with the cold.  The first stop was at Ocean City 
Inlet, among the more common species, I had one second winter ICELAND GULL 
mixed in with a few Ring-billed, Herring and Great Black-backed Gulls on the 
rocks below the observation deck/boardwalk area.  Next stop was 3rd Street 
Flats with nothing unusual.   Hooper's Resturant had a number of Dunlin, and 
a nice group of Gadwall, but again nothing too unusual.  After a stop at 
West OC Ponds (still nothing crazy), I headed to the Salisbury landfill 
where I had 7 LESSER-BLACK BACKED GULLS, 2 adult, 2 second winter, and 3 
first winter birds as well as a first winter GLAUCOUS GULL in with all of 
the other common gulls. All in all a great day!

Good Birding!
