Hi all I made a trip to Ocean City Maryland  on Sun 3 - 4 - 07  8:10 Am 
  to  4:30 pm   to try for the Thick Billed Murre .   NO luck however in 
locating it .  I tried Shanty  Town, fishing pier ,  4 th Street  flats , 
Inlet etc .     When  I arrived at the inlet  at  8:10 Am   there was a  
group of birders presant  scaning the waters  on the other side of the far 
jetty .   I went over see if they had seen it  but alas no  , but  a few 
minutes latter they  though they had it  in sight breifly . I had  no luck 
seeing it . I encoutered a number of birders  through the day . A few 
several times  including some other folks on Maryland Osprey  always nice to 
meet  the folks behind the words on our list serve  . All were pleasant nice 
folks to spend time around .  Numbers are rough  estimates   Highlights
