Ospreyers: Kyle Rambo just called Jane who called me to tell me there were some good shorebirds at Beauvue Ponds in St. Mary's County. The third and lowest pond has been drained and is a huge mud flat. He had 8 Least, 2 White-rumped and 1 Baird's Sandpipers plus several Semi-palmated Plovers. Baird's and White-rumped are very good birds for St. Mary's County. Unfortunately, you will need a scope because of the distance. Bins just won't do. -- Good Birding! ...and all this science, Tyler Bell I don't understand, It's mailto:bell@say.acnatsci.org just my job five days a week.
