Chris,

Great bird, but thanks for the life bird goes to two of the other birders
(Mary Ann Todd and Dave Czaplak) who were with us that day.  They were the
ones who originally found the bird and posted directions. If your photos
turn out okay can you send a copy to Phil Davis, who coordinates the MD
records committee reviews.

Regards,

Dave Powell

Germantown, MD

sandpiper is not in the posted directions spot, go south around the first
group of trees to a small flat by the bay. That is where I found it today
and believe it was Saturday before being flushed.
