The St. Mary's County, MD, Kelp Gull continues daily at the Sea Breeze Restaurant in Sandgates, MD (per my own sightings, reports from visiting birders and reliable restaurant staff). Since Wednesday, November 3, a possible Yellow-billed Loon, also seen off the piers of the restaurant, has been causing quite a stir. First seen around 3 p.m. on 11/3, then refound from 12:30 to 2 p.m. on 11/4, and seen again from 9 to 10 a.m. today, 11/5, the suspected loon actively feeds and dives the breadth of the river and for several miles along its length.

Today is a gift. That's why they call it the PRESENT.
