Jim Stasz, Hans Holbrook, and I drove around the upper Eastern Shore yesterday working south from Cecil Dickcissels to Horsehead.  Some notes of interest:
 
a minimum of 3 singing Dickcissels still on Old Telegraph Rd in Cecil County
the auto tour of Chesapeake Farms is closed and the main pond is drained but had only 1 Semi Sand
2 singing Dickcissels were found near a pond on Langford Rd just east of 446.  I always stop at this pond en route between the Chestertown Sewage Ponds and Chesapeake Farms.
Chestertown Sewage ponds have corn planted in front of them preventing visibility.
John Brown Rd had a single Upland Sandpiper, a mix of Leasts and Semis, and a few Pecs.
