Trip to Baltimore

   I had to go to Baltimore on business. I ate swordfish with pineapple-mango salsa with crab stuffed mushrooms in a restaurant next to the harbor. After dinner I took snaps of birds in the harbor area. There were Mallard ducks (Anas platyrhynchos) and a lot of Ring-billed Gulls (Larus delawarensis).

Baltimore is home of Edgar Allen Poe. I walked around downtown and saw this large blue-tiled bird along the avenue. It did not look like a Raven.
