Most have already been commented on, but my sightings have been slightly different. QA county: Rt. 309 ponds, the north pond not far east from Rt. 213, has been pretty good so far this fall. Today, we had a White-rump and a Pec with Leasts and Solitaries. Pemberton Manor has been too full for any shorebirds this fall. A pond on the south side of Terrapin Point (sorry for less specific directions, but we just found the pond by wandering) had a decent collection of shorebirds including Pectoral. Kent County: Chesapeake Farms was EXCELLENT this past weekend. Over 30 Stilt Sands and lots of Pecs, peeps, and a Semi Plover for the county listers. Talbot County: Easton as others have mentioned has been full. Today, there was a Lesser Yellowlegs, Spotties, Solitary, and a few Leasts. A Common Moorhen was in the impoundment. Harford County: Lakeside Ponds wasn't spectacular the past few times I've been. There were a few Solitaries and Leasts. Tydings has been good for shorebirds with Pecs and Semi Plovers being seen regularly and Jim Stasz saw a Glossy Ibis.
