I went to Pennyfield this afternoon and in the impoundment�found 2 Solitary Sandpipers, around 10 Least and a gorgeous juvenile Semipalmated Sandpiper.� Lots of drying mud, while it stays that way could be a good spot to check for a Baird's.
�
Also there was one Cliff Swallow perched in a tree with many Rough-winged.

Subject: [MDBirding] Red-headed Woodpecker at Pennyfield
This morning there was a juvenile Red-headed Woodpecker at Pennyfield, about one-quarter mile above the lock, in one of a pair of tall dead trees across the canal from the towpath. (Also there and in the neighborhood: a family of Red-bellieds, Flicker, Downy, Pileateds.)
Water in the impoundment is very low. It held at least 3 Solitary Sandpipers and more than a dozen peeps--Semipalmated Sandpipers?
