Les--

We found the Upland Sandpiper at the Easton plant again
after you left, and it was still there when we departed
around 12:30.

Earlier, at Ridgely, we had scores of yellowlegs,
perhaps 20 Pectorals, half a dozen Stilt Sandpipers, 2
dowitchers, Killdeer, a couple of Semipalmated Plovers,
numerous Semipalmated and Least Sandpipers--plus 100
Bank and a couple of Barn Swallows. This with a brisk
breeze and cool temps.

Later, on the way to Hurlock--continuing La Route des
Sewages--we mightily admired the beauty of the Tanyard
marshes, filled with flowering mallows and other blooms.
Didn't see much in the line of birds, though. Do all of
you guys bird this from the side of the (busy) road? 

Hurlock had a few yellowlegs, maybe 7 Least Sandpipers,
Killdeer, and assorted waders. 

A lovely, non-blistering day. Many thanks to all of you
who forwarded directions.
