Hey everyone,

Jared Satchell and I birded in Dorchester County this morning. We
started at dawn on Elliott Island Rd where we spooked a
Chuck-will's-widow that was sitting in a tree. We concentrated on
migrants in the marsh hammocks and we were not disappointed. Migrants
included:

American Redstart -- 18
Blue-winged Warbler -- 2
Yellow Warbler -- 1
Worm-eating Warbler -- 1
Louisiana Waterthrush -- 1
Blue-gray Gnatcatcher -- 3
Eastern Wood Pewee -- 4
Eastern Phoebe -- 1

Other birds that we saw included:

Blue-winged Teal -- 11
Common Moorhen -- 2
Semipalmated Plover -- 4

Hurlock had little of interest except:

Northern Shoveler -- 6
Blue-winged Teal -- 3
Black Tern -- 1
