My wife and I visited North Assateague at 3 p.m. yesterday, and walked the
ocean shore for about 2 and 1/2 miles (to marker post 75). No really
unusual sightings.

On our way home a few miles west of Salisbury, just as the sun was setting,
we saw a flock of 70 Canada Geese settle into a corn field near Route 50.
