Hi everyone,

My first bird for 2008 was a ring billed gull that I saw out the window of
our hotel room in Ocean City this AM.

Among our final birds of 2007 were pair of Harlequin Ducks recently seen in
Ocean City.  We saw them yesterday around 2 PM swimming around the docks
right by MR Ducks on the bay side off of Dorchester Rd.  We also saw many
common loons on the bay and ocean.  No Dovkies were seen.  The only scoters
we saw were flying by way out there.  The Peregrine falcon was munching on a
gull up on the inlet water tower.
