This evening from about 7:10-7:40 as the sun went down I visited 
the Mason-Dixon Farm off Bullfrog Road in Frederick County.  The 
shorebird flock was much as Wilbur described it yesterday with some 
additions.  This evening there were 3 Buff-breasted Sandpipers.  The 
Baird's Sandpiper and Short-billed Dowitcher were also there and also 2 
White-rumped Sandpipers.  There were still large numbers of Killdeer, 
Semi Sands, Least Sands, Pectoral Sands, and 5 Semi Plovers along with 
many Mourning Doves coming in for the evening.  The ducks were 1 Wood, 1 
Mallard, and 4 Blue-winged Teal.
