Checked out Triadelphia Reservoir this afternoon to see if the wind had knocked down anything unusual.  A Ring-billed Gull apparently took a disliking to a Bonaparte's Gull and chased it around the reservoir for a while, and there was a fair variety of waterfowl.   Each species was seen in both Howard and Montgomery Counties unless noted otherwise:

Canada Goose - 22 (Ho Co)
American Wigeon - 7
Mallard - 9
Northern Shoveler - 11
Green-winged Teal - 1 (Ho Co)
Lesser Scaup - 2
Ruddy Duck - 3
Pied-billed Grebe - 3
Great Blue heron - 2 (1 each county)
Osprey - 1 (Ho Co)
Killdeer - 2 (1 each county)
Greater Yellowlegs - 1
Bonaparte's Gull - 1
Ring-billed Gull - 5
Belted Kingfisher - 1 (Mont. Co)
