Saturday afternoon at about 5 PM a Lesser Golden Plover was present on a
field immediately west of Rt 13 and just south of Stockyard Road, very
close to the Wicomico/Somerset county line south of Salisbury (the location
recently described by Charlie Vaughn).  The bird, an adult  mostly molted
into basic plummage, was seen on the southernmost of the plowed fields,
adjacent to a grassy turf area to its south.  Also present were numbers of
Kildeer. 

A few Kildeer, but  no other waders seen at the sod farm along Hampshire
Road just north of Salisbury.
