Hi all --

Our internet has been down most of today -- Comcast line problem which they still haven't really solved -- but I wanted to get this post out while it is up.

Barry went up to Back River (Balto. Co.) today and had 2-3 Little Gulls with an estimated 1100 Bonaparte's Gulls -- 1-2 (may have been the same bird but in different areas) were observed from the end of the road behind the Royal Farms gas station, next to the restaurant (that is, below the bridge) and one on the mud flats off Diamond Pt. (that is, above the bridge).

As we had hoped, the warm weather has gotten the birds moving...
