My husband Jim Schaefer and I also spent Sunday birding on
the Eastern Shore. Like Bill Hubick et al, we didn't see anything
especially unusual. I enjoyed seeing five species of herons and
egrets in the space of a couple of hours. We had Great Blue and
Little Blue Herons, Great Egrets, and CATTLE EGRETS at
West OC pond and SNOWY EGRETS (lots of them) at Truitt's
Landing. There were quite a few GLOSSY IBIS at both places.
We also saw a couple of COMMON TERNS, one LEAST TERN,
and four Lesser Yellowlegs at Truitt's Landing.
