There  were 43 Killdeer, 1 Solitary Sandpiper, and 3 Spotted Sandpipers in 
it. The  west pond is still full. I also stopped at the ponds in New Windsor, 
Carroll  County where the main pond has only a few small pools of water 
remaining. One  Green Heron, 20 Killdeer, and 2 Least Sandpipers were  there.



Bob,
 The big pond at Blue Mash today held only 2 Spotted Sandpipers. I did  
however confirm Cooper's Hawk carrying food for young, and it was being chased  by 
crows well into the woods. Also I watched a female Belted Kingfisher cough up  
a bolus, presumably of fish scales, etc. First time I have ever seen one do  
this, though I'm sure it must occur regularly.
