To All, Today I visited several shorebird sites on the central Eastern Shore. With me were Dottie Mumford, Sue Ricciardi, Linda Baker, Gail Frantz, and Joe Halpin. Here is what we found: Central Sod Farms, John Brown Rd - Killdeer 30. Alfalfa Fields North of Ridgely - no Upland Sandpipers. Ridgely sewage ponds (located on Bell Rd west of town), besides Canada Geese and Mallards: Wigeon 1 Killdeer 65 Greater Yellowlegs 6 Lesser Yellowlegs 350 Solitary Sandpiper 5 Spotted Sandpiper 7 Semipalmated Sandpiper 2 Western Sandpiper 1 Least Sandpiper 12 Pectoral Sandpiper 35 Stilt Sandpiper 24 Easton sewage ponds (getting very dry): Semipalmated Plover 1 Killdeer 10 Lesser Yellowlegs 10 Solitary Sandpiper 1 Spotted Sandpiper 3 Semipalmated Sandpiper - several Western Sandpiper - several Semi/Western - about 10 more Least Sandpiper 30, including one very red juvenile Pectoral Sandpiper 8 Bobolink 200 Tanyard marsh: Least Sandpiper 1 Laughing Gull 800 Ring-billed Gull 1 Caspian Tern 2 Hurlock sewage ponds - closed, but 2 Forster's Terns were flying around.
