Hi all I covered the Queenstown , Centreville area for the Queens Annes
County May count my total was about 77 species and hardly any
warblers seen or heard . Also had a little Car trouble in the early
afternoon and after about an hour Got straight to go again . The day
began 5:50 Am with Woodthrush total for the day was 17 and ended near
9:00 Pm with 1 Chuck - Will's - Widow. There was a nice showing of
Shorebirds With 1 Black bellied plover in the Pond on Route 309 1 mile

Dowitcher 13 Great Egrets here as well . A field near Starr held most of
the Gulls I had for the day laughing Gulls 211, Ring Billed 13 . In the
