I see you those birds Warren, and raise you two Black Scoter and two Brant.
No shorebird of any kind during my brief visit.
Although, Matt Grey gave me the heads up on an Orange-crowned Warbler that I relocated at the park (Perryman?) behind the Brandon Woods Industrial Complex off Solley Road in Northern AA (near Swan Creek) at lunchtime. An awesome, much-sought-after County Bird.
Thanks Matt!

But it was a quick view and I could not reacquire the bird, so I am not counting it (it would be a lifer). Hoping instead one or two will linger into Saturday at Conowingo.
