Jean and I were at the OC  inlet  this afternoon  at  about  2:15.
Saw  Bob and Marcia Balestri there who told us the TB  Murre   was
swimming  off the south jetty.   We  soon found it.   We  were
joined by Betty Pitney and watched as the bird floated in from the
jetty and proceeded to float the entire length of the inlet near the
north shore.

 

When last seen at about  3:00  PM  the bird was floating near the
Rt.  50   bridge  on the south side.    (Probably  about  100 to 150
yards from  the  OC  end of the bridge.)          We  had excellent
views of the  TB  Murre, a Horned grebe,   a  Common  Loon,  a
Red-throated Grebe, and RB  Mergansers  from  a small  boardwalk
area at the  west end of  Worcester Street   ( @ north side  of the
Coast Guard  Station)

 

Thanks

Larry and Jean Fry
