Chris is on a research vessel far out to sea (beyond 100 miles) and has been seeing gulf stream type birds.  He had a dozen or more Herald (Trinidade) Petrels in New Jersey waters as I understand it.  There is some question about his actually being in MD waters, but I don't have the details.  I'll quiz Michael when he returns from Colorado.  The Cape May crowd have been getting updates.


Herald and Fea's would be nice additions to the MD list.

I just received an ebird report of an amazing assortment of pelagics
seen in "a feeding frenzy" in Maryland waters.  The report came from
Christopher Vogel from June 19th:

20 Black-capped Petrels
1 Herald Petrel
1 Fea's Petrel
20+ Great Shearwaters
50 Cory Shearwaters
1 Audubon's Shearwater
1 Sooty Tern.

Anyone know anything about this?

Good birding,
