Hello, All--

The Buff-breasted Sandpiper continues at the polo fields on Hughes Rd, 
Montgomery Co, as of 10:30 this morning. As before, it was pretty much in 
line with the little pull-off. Horned Larks and an Am Pipit were also in the 
fields, as were Killdeer.

Hughes Hollow held both Yellowlegs, Leasts, and Solitary Sandpipers, and 
Killdeer.

Yesterday, 8/22, the sod farm fields along River Rd just downcounty from 
White's Ferry had 3 or 4 Pectorals and a Least Sand, as well as a couple 
dozen Killdeer. These birds were in or near an area of roughly plowed clumps 
of mud, with machinery behind.
