While atlasing today I stopped at the Mason Dixon Farms ponds in Frederick County. A bad sun angle, high winds, and nearby manure spreading prevented an accurate count but estimated numbers of birds in the east pond were:

Black-bellied Plover  2
Semipalmated Plover  4
Killdeer  1
Greater Yellowlegs  1
Lesser Yellowlegs  20
Solitary Sandpiper  12
Spotted Sandpiper  1
Least Sandpiper  75

   In the west pond where the water level is high:

Canada Goose  14
Mallard  1
Lesser Yellowlegs  1
Least Sandpiper  25

Savannah Sparrows were singing at both ponds.
