Seen between 4:30 and 5 pm on the south side of the rode in the cove
closest to the bridge on the Caroline County side. It was extreme low
tide and the bird was standing at the edge of the water. I missed it on
first approach from the Talbot County side, but it was quite obvious on my
return in the opposite direction about 10 minutes later. This hour is
rough for birders because of 1) horrible light and 2) heavy commuter
traffic. Be safe.

Also present:
wood duck
mallard
pectoral sandpiper
semipalmated sandpiper
least sandpiper
killdeer
semipalmated plover
laughing gull (hundreds loafing on the flats)
ring-billed gull
Forster's tern
American crow
American goldfinch
