Hi all:
We worked pretty hard to find a few ( and I do mean a few ) shorebirds in Cecil
this am but in the end found water in several spots.  Thanks to Marshall for the
news of Court House Points` bone dry status, not surprising given the drought.
An impoundment on the Chesapeake City canal lands had 2 Greater Yellowlegs, 3
Semi-palm SP.  3 Bobolinks perched in nice view ( this looks like good breeding
habitat for them ).  Also looks like nice sparrow habitat to be checked during
migration.  Were numerous Grasshoppers singing.
The fish-hatchery ponds in Elkton had 2 Solitary Sandpipers, 6 Least Sandpipers,
3 Little Blue Herons and 2 Green Herons.
