Lydia Schindler and I looked for shorebirds today at some Germantown
area storm water management ponds, finishing at the pond in the soccerplex.
Shamrock Glen Ct SWM pond (NW corner of I-270/Rt 27 interchange):
Greater Yellowlegs 1
Solitary Sandpiper 1
Least Sandpiper 3
Killdeer 1
Fable Dr/Richter Farm Rd SWM pond:
Killdeer 1
SWM Ponds off Bubbling Spring Rd:
Solitary Sandpipers 4
Germantown Soccerplex pond:
Semipalmated Plover 1
Killdeer 1
Lesser Yellowlegs 4
Solitary Sandpiper 4
Least Sandpiper 12+
Surprised that we did not see a Spotted SP. Later today, while taking
my son to his baseball game, saw a spotted in a SWM pond at corner of
Shakespeare Blvd and Rt 355 in Germantown.
