I had an errand in Hagerstown on Monday which is on my route home these
days. I wanted to check shorebirds up at the Hagerstown Airport pond. There
wasn't much of anything there except a Killdeer. I also checked on the
Eurasian Collared Dove(s ?) on Reidtown Road (previously reported). I still
only found one individual. This time it was west of Marsh Pike on Reidtown
Road at the barn and farm buildings (up on the wire). I checked across the
road on Lehman's Mill road and vicinity but I didn't find any other
(non-Mourning) doves. The ponds near the Hagerstown Mall (Rt 40) were also
devoid of shorebirds. I just had a Great Blue and a Green Heron there with
some Canada Geese.
