Thank you Russ. I found 6 uppies today [a lifer for me] at Salisbury Airport between 1:30Pm and 2:30PM viewed [and only visible from] the green Shell fueling station beyond the terminal and parking lots. I counted 6, but there could have been more in depressions. They moved toward me and gave good looks, but most of the time were far and scope necessary. Not visible from the picnic tables to the right of the passenger terminal.
