I checked the upper end of Liberty Lake this morning for shorebirds. The water level continues to drop and today the birds were a little farther downstream at the primary mud flat which is on the Baltimore County side. When I arrived virtually all the birds were on the Baltimore county side. Though a few strayed over to Carroll County the vast majority stayed there.

Mallard  2
Green-winged Teal  11
Great Blue Heron  1
Great Egret  1

Lesser Yellowlegs  65, most I have ever seen here, some in Carroll Co.
