I also didn't stop along Rt. 70. Did you scope today from the cul de sac, down over the hill at the cul de sac, or from Rt. 70? I had a very poor view from the road on the cul de sac. I am looking for a Long-billed Dowitcher in Maryland, so if you hear of one or see one, please let me know. I guess I have to do more birding on the eastern shore. Have you done any recent birding along Pigtail (Triadelphia Reservoir)? I don't know if there are any good mudflats along the reservoir, either side. I am looking for any good mudflats nearby. I know there is a small pond on a farm along Rt. 216 but the people are very unfriendly, and I recall there was not much in the way of mudflats there. -Joe joseph.byrnes@comcast.net ======================================================================= To leave the MDOsprey list, send e-mail to listserv@home.ease.lsoft.com with the following message in line 1: signoff mdosprey ======================================================================= =========================================================================
