        At 8:15 a.m. this morning there was a Red Knot on the flats at
Havre de Grace. Low tide is at 10:38, so there should be flats still
visible at noon. I think this represents the first county record.
        I have been checking the flats nearly daily for almost three weeks.
This is the first bird of note since last Friday, when the 1st-summer
Lesser Black-backed Gull seen twice this summer was again present.
Otherwise there have been a small number of peeps, mostly Leasts and Semis,
and a passel of Killdeer present.
