Please post any in formation regarding sightings (or misses) of the
Reeve in North Beach from Friday.  I am interested in trying for the
Reeve on Saturday morning before I head out of town for the weekend, if
it is still hanging around.
 
Thanks in advance for the info!

Ospreyers:
 
I stopped at the marsh off of Rte. 261 in North Beach (Calvert County)
after work today.  Lots of shorebirds
including a Reeve.  The bird was quite cooperative and provided nice
views.  When I left at 5:30 PM
the bird was still present.  I found out from George Jett that Danny
Bystrak originally found the bird this AM.
 
In addition to the Reeve there were Lesser and Greater Yellowlegs, Least
and Semi-palmated Sandpipers, Dunlin, S.B. Dowitchers, Pectoral
Sandpiper, Spotted Sandpiper, Snowy Egret and Bonaparte's Gulls. 
 
To reach this marsh from Rte. 4 take Rte. 260 toward Chesapeake Beach. 
Take Rte. 261 toward
North Beach follow 261 north toward Ann Arundel county.  The marsh is on
the left side of the road.  there is a small dirt road on the right
where one can park safely.
