No outstanding rarities, but some good county birds and apparently new editions for Comp list (Red Knot). Good county birds included a Cliff Swallow at West OC pond, and Short-billed Dowitcher and Dunlin at the Rt. 50 Borrow Pit west of Salisbury. Other highlights: Red Knots on Skimmer and Eagle's Nest 3 Piping Plovers seen from Eagle's Nest Brown Pelican on Skimmer lots of Gannets and Purple Sands at the Inlet 77!! Whimbrel on the ORV zone of the Assateague 3 Lesser Black-backed Gulls on Skimmer only migrant warbler was Blackpoll and not many of those Matt Hafner College Park, MD ======================================================================= To leave the MDOsprey list, send e-mail to listserv@home.ease.lsoft.com with the following message in line 1: signoff mdosprey ======================================================================= =========================================================================
