Subject: [MDBirding] Oxbow Lake - Blue-winged Teal, Wilson's Snipe


I was counting snipe along Gallinule Point, heard killdeer, and all of a sudden they both got up and flew. I was up to 12 snipe, but there were at least 30 in the flock that flushed. The number of Blue-winged Teal increased today to 6 males and 2 females.
