On my way over to Upper Watt's Branch this morning, I made a quick stop
at the storm water management ponds at the W. Gude Drive entrance (W.
Gude and Watkins Pond Blvd.) to the King Farms housing develpment. Had
2 singing Willow Flycatchers, a Yellow-breasted Chat, pair of Yellow
Warblers, 3 Spotted and 1 Solitary Sandpipers. I am finding that with
the dry weather, almost every body of water (small or large) in the
county has a few shorebirds of some kind or another. Wish one of them
would turn up a SB Dowitcher.
Good birding,
Andy Martin
