        This is the Conowingo Dam report for Friday, December 3, 1999.
Observation was by Rick Blom from 11:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. Light clouds,
warm, light breeze. There was full gneration all day for the third day in a
row.
        Gull season is well and truely underway at the dam. The count today:

Bonaparte's Gull                300
Laughing Gull                   1
Ring-billed Gull                8,500
Herring Gull                    200
Lesser Black-backed Gull        2 (adults)
Great Black-backed Gull         150
Double-crested Cormorant        12
Bald Eagle                      25+ (who cares)

        A quick stop in the afternoon at Bald Friar Road to check on the
Pacific Loon resulted in precisely bupkus. 1 Ring-billed Gull. No
waterfowl, no gulls or terns, no nothing.

If you can't annoy someone, there is little point in writing.
