Joshua

A few of us tried around noon today for an hour without luck. We did have
2 Lesser Yellowlegs, 2 Dunlin, 2 Wilson's Snipe and 15 or so Killdeer.
Unfortunately the locals do not seem to be very accommodating A grown
woman was actively driving a 4 wheeler through the flooded field scaring
birds for a good 15 minutes while we watched the birds fly around. As soon
as they would land she would continue her mission to drive them off.
Pretty disturbing behavior... In any event, good luck if you try. We
were parked right along Rt 481 facing north. The location if you type this
GPS into google maps is (38.954391,-75.97827). There is a ditch right next
to the road so be careful. We had two cars parked 95% off the road here.
Traffic was light and no one seemed to mind us parked here.

Good birding,
Mike Burchett
Ocean Pines, MD
