At Jim Brighton's suggestion, I looked for shorebirds this afternoon along 
Oxford Rd between Easton and Oxford in Talbot County.  Several fields have 
been cleared -- for future housing development I'm guessing -- creating 
some decent habitat, at least temporarily.  

The best spot was at the corner of Oxford Rd. and Llandaff Rd.  Parking is 
easier on Oxford Rd, but viewing was better on Llandaff Rd.  Here I saw 1 
Greater Yellowlegs, 4 Lesser Yellowlegs, 1 Solitary Sandpiper, 6 Pectoral 
Sandpipers, and 2 distant peeps along with many Killdeer.  Worth checking 
out if you're in the area.
