This evening between 7:15 pm - 7:25 pm, 4 Common Nighthawks flew over my house flying south. 





My final count of Laughing Gulls this afternoon, 1:45 - 2;45 pm, was 84 at Fulton Pond. At 4:30 pm 12 were still present. If you go there remember that this is private property and birders are not welcome. You must observe from the side of the road. Be careful of the traffic. Below are instructions from the Howard County Bird Clubs web page. 

  
FULTON POND - ADC 5052-C6 (18-H5), Delorme 57-D5. Location: 1.1 miles west of US 29 on MD 216. To observe the pond and fields, do NOT stop on MD 216 or in the farm driveway. Instead, park in the Fulton post office parking lot or in the small shopping center. Walk back along the heavily traveled road with caution.
