Hi All , 
      Sorry about late post . I got wrapped up in Flickr photos last night to the final point of exhaustion and forgot all about posting the birds. 
I went to alot of areas yesterday in Southwest Baltimore  . Hitting Cabin Branch , Brandon Woods, Ft Amistead , Lansdowne Highshool , SWAP and finally a seawatch at Harbor Hospital . 
Just want to do quick report for SWAP and Harbor Hospital . 
I was doing a watch of the Patapsco River from the boat launch area at Southwest Area Park (Baltimore Highlands) hoping for some Terns . After seeing many gulls passing thru i started getting Terns . Was able to I.D. 2 Forsters . It occurred to me that since i was not going to walk that little path to the river that late by myself  that i could go to Harbor Hospital in South Baltimore and watch them come out of the River and maybe get better looks and I.D . 
Harbor Hospital was where the Tern action was. Was able to watch approx . 15 Terns scanning and diving up until dark . Was able to count 11 Caspian and 4 smaller unidentified Terns . did eliminate Least Tern so assume these were Forster or Common ..
I believe the Caspians all headed toward Masonville cove for the night so assumed theyd be there this morning . Hoping to get there and check soon .
