Ed Patten sent me this email a today reporting a Stilt SP in the "Big 
Pond" at Blue Mash.  Beavers have thinned out some of the willows this 
summer making a viewing thru the fence a little bit easier.  Ed also 
told me over the phone he has had some other nice birds there in past 
few weeks (not today) including Cattle Egret, Short-billed Dowitcher, 
and a Bairds SP.  I'm out the door.....hopefully for a lifer!

I am not setup to post on MDOsprey, but the morning I had a Stilt 
Sandpiper at Blue Mash.  I had nine species of shorebirds today and an 
adult Bald Eagle.  The last several weeks Shorebirds at Blue Mash have 
been absolutely incredible.
