Hey everyone-

I joined Kevin Graff, Pete Webb, and John Dennehy on a rarity chase around Worcester County yesterday.  We got our main target, the Snowy Owl, but fisherman were out in force, and the huge amount of boat traffic  around the OC Inlet apparently kept the Eiders and Harlequin away.  Many, many thanks to Mark Hoffman, who was nice enough to give us a ride to the Owl spot, 4 miles south into the OSV zone.  Needless to say, his kindness spared us from a great deal of walking!  

While we might not have gotten all the birds we were after, it was a great day for photography, and I was reminded again of how much I absolutely love birding the coast.

Good birding,
