Subject: Poplar Island Sightings from July 12, 2007

            This report is submitted on behalf of Jan Reese of Talbot
County, who continues to periodically survey the flora and fauna of Poplar
Island.   The Poplar Island project has received a name change.  It is now
called Paul Sarbanes Ecosystem Restoration Project at Poplar Island. (I
shall continue to refer to it as Poplar Island.)
            These sightings include the birds seen on June 29, 2007.  Some
of the birds were seen from the boat during the trip from Tilghman Island
and back. 
	Nearly all of the sandpipers were still in breeding plumage.  Two of
the Willets were of the western race.
	Weather: clear   Temp range 75-87 degrees  F
