Hey everyone,

Today, I joined Billy Hubick, Johnny Hubbell, Jimmy Brighton, Danny Small, and for a large part of the day, Mikey Walsh for birding on the Eastern Shore. The weather was awful and birds were painfully absent for some periods of the day, but it was a great day of birding nonetheless. 

Here are some of the highlights:

Ocean City Inlet:

Northern Gannett - 5
Common Eider - 14 - a good count
Harlequin Duck - 3, including a beautiful adult male
Merlin - 1
Laughing Gull - 5

Cedar Hill, Wicomico County:

Wild Turkey - 15 - crossing the road when we drove in.
Common Goldeneye - 1

Tyaskin Park, Wicomico County:
 
RED-THROATED LOON - 1 - found by John
Pied-billed Grebe - 1

Tanyard Marsh, Caroline County

Cackling Goose - 1

Kingston Landing Road, Talbot County

Lesser Black-backed Gull - 1 - found by Bill
Great Black-backed Gull - 8
Herring Gull - 750
Ring-billed Gull - 30
American Pipit - 1
Horned Lark - 1

Kingston Landing, Talbot County

Northern Harrier - 20 -  At some points there were 11+ in view at once.
