Had about an hour to check out turf farm fields along River Rd. south of 
Whites Ferry.  Not the easiest day to thoroughly scope the fields and 
could have used more time.  Had to scope from inside the car, setting up 
the tripod on drink console/passenger seat to keep rain off front 
lense.  Shorebirds included:

Semipalmated Plover 9
Least Sandpiper 15-20
Killdeer 10+
Solitary Sandpiper 1

All were in the large (by Montgomery cty standards) plowed field across 
from southernmost turf fields.  Incidentally, the turf field which 
produced the Buff-breasted SP last Sept. has been replanted with what I 
think are soybeans.  Hope this is not start of a trend.

Yesterday, added American Redstart and Eastern Wood-pewee to my yard list.

Good birding,
