Hi All  This Morning Went to Central Sod Farms  on John Brown Rd Not
Much of note there.  After leaving there Decided to go to  The Wildfowl
Trust of North America  in Grasonville . This Place is now renamed
chesapeake something or other.  Too confusing as far as I am concerned.    I
arrived at about Noon . After checking In decided to head to the  Lake
Knapp  Blind. Along the service road birds seen  4 Eastern Kingbirds, 4
Mockingbirds. As I got into the Blind started scoping For shorebirds saw 4
LesserYellowlegs , 1 Greater yellowlegs next to a Lesser  great to compare
them. Then saw 1 Tricolored Heron Immature then saw  a 2nd  and 3rd  then in
a walk around the lake  saw a Total of 7 Tricolored Herons .  This was a
county Bird as well as a year bird for my state list.  All were Immature
Birds like pictured in Sibley's Eastern Field Guild on page  53 .  Other
shorebirds  there were Semi and Least Sandpipers, Killdeer 10, Semi palmated
plover  5 ,        2 Great Egret ,  5   Snowy Egret    at least 5 Osprey  4
with 3 young of the year  sitting on the Nesting platform  in the middle Of
Lake Knapp. One finising off a fish.   Behind the Edcation  building was an
Empidonax Flycatcher sitting in a dead tree  which  made an unhappy nearby
Hummingbird  fly in the face of the Flycatcher that in turn fly off  with no
ID. Great sighings  No skeeters  But a very few biting flies.

                                         Happy Birding
