Hi Everyone,

There was a nice collection of shorebirds near the end of Rumbly Point Rd
in Somerset County this afternoon (31 Dec 2012):

Greater Yellowlegs--52
Lesser Yellowlegs--1
Least Sandpiper--12
Dunlin--120
Long-billed Dowitcher--11

Also at Rumbly Point were 4 Forster's Terns and 40 Boat-tailed Grackles.

Just before dusk, at the end of Riley Roberts Rd in the Deal Island WMA, a
Tricolored Heron flew by. Slightly later, as it was getting dark, 3
Black-crowned Night Herons flew over. Clapper Rails called, and a
Short-eared Owl hunted the marsh.

Happy New Year! Have fun,
