Yesterday (Tuesday, March 31) I spent several hours on the 
Susquehanna River looking for the rare gulls that were reported 
last weekend.  About 4:00 pm, as I was scoping the river from 
Lapidum Landing on the Harford County side, I got an excellent 
view of the BLACK-HEADED GULL.  It flew past heading 
downstream and then crossed over to the Cecil County side of 
the river (giving me two county birds!).

I am a bit less certain that I saw a LITTLE GULL.  Earlier in the 
afternoon, again scoping from Lapidum, I thought I saw a smaller 
gull flying with a fluttering, "moth-like" flight with the Bonaparte's 
Gulls on the Cecil County side.  I drove over to Port Deposit and 
tried looking for it from the boat ramp but was unable to relocate it.
