Hi All   just a quick note to report my visits to the sod Farm farm near 
Queenstown  .   I had not posted about  it before  as others have   been  
doing a good job updating everyone .    Up untill this  past week not much 
has been happing there  just killdeer and Horned Larks  .   With last  
Tuesdays  8 - 21 - 07  rain   I decided to make a check there  for 
shorebirds on my way  home from  a trip out to Poplar Island  in Talbot 
County  .    As luck  would have it there were shorebirds there  including 
one Buff Breasted Sandpiper.   upon arriving Home I  called Les Roslund 
about it  to post the info  for me as I knew I could not post till  latter 
Wedsday afternoon .   My thanks to you  Les For post about it  . Also thanks 
for the look at the Baird's   through your scope  on Friday .   Its  been 
nice to  meet you new people and old friends  out the sod farm  as well.

As others mentioned   there were model rockets being fired  and a  model 
plane  being flown and  all this  kept the birds in the back  hard to see  . 
  The loud noise scaring the birds  to fly,  circle  then land again .    
During one such firing of a rocket  and One Matt Halfner being  presant  he 
saw  one Baird's in flight .

Happy Birding
