In about the same place, South of Oland Rd. between Route 85 and New
Design Rd., Gerry Hawkins and I found 3 Uppies today (8/26), moving
together in the very short grass across the field from Oland
Rd. Time was about 9:30 a.m. We also found 2 Eastern Meadowlarks
and an American Kestrel in the same general area.
We had earlier stopped at the Hughes Rd. polo grounds in Montgomery
County and found lots of Killdeer and Horned Larks, but no American
Golden-plover. In fact, we stopped there once again later in the
morning, with the same result (or lack of it).
Thanks to Mike Welch for posting his sighting of the Oland Rd. birds.
