 This warm and pleasant day lent to some easy birding in a couple of
familiar areas.  This report is provided to let folks know about a few of
the fine birds that are still there waiting to be viewed.

 Started at Ocean City; highlights:
  The four beautiful male Common Eider (3 adult, 1 1st year)
  Very cooperative Harlequin Ducks (7 m, 5 f)
  Purple Sandpipers  (3)
  Surf Scoters (11)
  Several common loons, plenty of red-breasted mergansers

 Next good viewing was at Indian River Inlet. Most Bonaparte Gulls were
 out
in the ocean beyond the channel.  At the Marina around the boats near the
Texaco station turned out to be the best viewing place.  Highlights:
  One male Harlequin Duck
  Two Black-headed Gulls - easily found accompanied by a group 
  of only 30 Bonaparte's
  Seven Pied-billed Grebes

 Final stop was at Silver Lake in Rehobath to enjoy the great numbers of
Black Ducks, Mallards, Ruddy, Canvasback, Shoveler, Lesser Scaup, and a
few Gadwall and RB Mergansers.

Good Birding
