Hi all just a quick report to say that  on Friday 12 - 10 - 10  Bill Harris , Karen Harris and  myself  went to Assateague to look for the Shrike and the Ash Throated Flycatcher . The Shrike  was no where  to be found . But we did find the flycatcher with the help of another birder   who located it just as we were  exiting the  the car . It was just before the parking area to the Life Of The Marsh  Trail . Near the bridge to the Island there was one Western Willet . Latter in the afternoon  we went to the Ocean City  Inlet  were there  were  about 8 Bonaparte's Gulls  3 Common Loons  and  1 Common Eider  . Resting  and napping on the  beach till a jogger flushed them were about 11 BLACK SKIMMERS with a  flock of about 80 Rock Pigeons . Also presant where  Purple Sandpiper and  Ruddy Turnstones, Brant  and other assorted  Gulls .
 
 
Happy Birding
