There has been a large gathering of gulls, perhaps 500-600 birds, along Muddy Creek Road across from the Shady Oaks Turf Farm at Holly Landing Road. Today there were about a dozen Tundra Swans in with the group. There's no good place, that I know of, to stop and scope this area, unfortunately.

Subject: [MDOSPREY] Tundra Swans still at Mayo

Jon Ranson and I took a short visit to Mayo Beach/Shoreham Beach this afternoon.  There were 11 Tundra Swans in Big Pond, 7 at Shoreham.  They were pretty mobile and restless, especially the group at Big Pond.  But, when I left near dusk, they appeared to have settled back down.  Looking across from Shoreham to Thomas Point, we could see about 25 - 30 Tundra Swan loitering along that shore as well. 

At Ramsey lake, Jon got his FOY OSPREY.  (I got mine at Waterworks Park on Friday).  We thought it was pretty cool that the Osprey and the Tundra were hanging here together - both long migrants; one ending his journey and the others about to start.
