On my way in to work today, I noticed a harem of Wild Turkeys just north of St. Leonard's Creek on Rt. 4. This area is just north of the turnoff to Flag Ponds but before the right turn onto Rt. 765. The tom had his tail fanned out and there were a dozen hens in attendance.

Also, on my way to meet the carpool in Friendship, I made a couple of detours. First stop was North Beach Marsh. Not much going on there but 12 Green-winged Teal and some Mallards. A couple of Fish Crows uh-ohing.

My final stop was at the pond just north of Herrington Harbor. There were hundreds of gulls in the grass between the pond and the street going into the neighborhood. 90% of them were Ring-billed, 10% Herring. There was one dark-mantled gull in the mix and it was a nice adult Lesser Black-backed Gull. Nice!
