The Marbled Godwit that was here as late as 6:30pm 8/29 has = apparently left to continue migration. Along with the MAGO there was a = 1st year Little Blue Heron and a 1st year Tri-Coloured Heron. Along with = 25-30 Least Sandpipers, a dozen or more Greater Yellowlegs, 2-3 Lesser = Yellowlegs and 2 White-Rumped Sandpipers, 1 Western Sandpiper. Today at = noon only the 1st year LBHE remained along with I believe a 1st year = Snowy Egret. This evening I visited the ponds again after work and met = up with another local birder (Lisa Lister) who advised me of a possible = very hard to see Stilt Sandpiper. After much patience Im happy to say I = was able to view a very nervous STSA that was keeping company with 3 = Short-Billed Dowitchers. If anyone would like to visit the ponds at = Point Lookout they are in an area that is open to the public and Im = asking (as a fellow birder) that we make every effort to stay on the = roads edge if at all possible and we refrain from entering the very = fragile marsh enviroment. Thanks and Good Birding, Marty Cribb, Point = =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D To leave the MDOsprey list, send e-mail to listserv@home.ease.lsoft.com with the following message in line 1: signoff mdosprey =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D Lookout, St Marys Co, Md =========================================================================
