Today at 6:45 am, two birders (sp) were spotted at the OC Inlet.   Llowell 
Melzer (WBAL Channel 11) was reporting live from the inlet about the effects 
of the Nor'easter.  In the background, 2 birders were scanning the inlet and 
ocean, one with a scope and the other with just bins.  ID of the birders was 
not possible.  Both were dressed in non-descript fowl weather gear and 
looked just a tad uncomfortable leaning  into the wind.  I hope someone has 
clearer pictures of the birders so they can be ID'ed.

'Tis a shame that Mr. Melzer did not do any live interviews.  It would have 
been a great plug for birding.  Plus, a couple of birders would have had 
their 15 seconds of fame.
