Dave Larkin and I birded some places in Cecil county this morning. We first stopped at Bethel WMA. We had good views of Moorhens there and heard a sora. Along Middleneck Rd. we had 2 singing Vesper Sparrows, one on a power line. At Gunther's Pond we found 7 species of shorebirds, along with a bank swallow and 3 summer plumaged pipits. At Courthouse Point I finally found a CHAT! Thanks to all who have sent me advice on where to find this bird. Matt Hafner Bel Air, MD
