Ah, but July has ALWAYS been the hot time for shorebirds in the midAtlantic
region -- when we see most of our Red-necked Stints, Curlew SPs, etc. The
drought (and consequent dryness of impoundments on the Delaware Bay) and
the unremitting heat that is keeping a lot of folks indoors may reduce the
chance of sightings, but everyone should be alert,

Witness the Mongolian Plover just reported yesterday in Rhode Island -- next
stop, Delaware (or Maryland...?)

Keep looking!
