Fran and I located the bird feeding in an area populated by gulls and a
number of Royal Terns, along with a few Great Egrets well north of the Catch
54 Restaurant.  We both managed to get a few pictures but the distance means
they aren't probably near as good as others that have been taken.

 

The bird seemed quite happy to be feeding here and the few times it flew it
went for only very short distances before settling in to feed again.  This
was during the period noon to 12:30 this afternoon.

 

Two Delaware birders joined us for a few minutes at that location but we
didn't catch their names.

 

Best,

Norm Saunders
