Went back up to River Rd turf farm area south of Whites Ferry.  First 
surprise was a flock of 40+ Dunlins.  Second was a single SHORT-BILLED 
DOWITCHER.

The Dowitcher and Dunlins were in the plowed field opposite the turf 
field that was replanted with soybeans.  These are the last set of turf 
fields south of Whites Ferry.  The Dowitcher was near a large puddle 
right next to the road and the Dunlins 150 yards or so further back.  
Also, at various wet spots along this stretch were same birds as 
yesterday - Semipalmated Plovers, Killdeer, Solitary and Least Sandpipers.
