This  morning my wife Colleen and I were at the North Branch C&O Canal in
the dreary rain.  A good number of shorebirds were feeding on the tarps,
with the following species being seen:

Black-bellied Plover -1
Semipalmated Plover - 3
Killdeer - many adults plus at least 3 young that I saw
Lesser Yellowlegs - ~12
Solitary Sandpiper - 4
Spotted Sandpiper - 1
Least Sandpiper - ~10+

Other notable species:
Orchard Oriole
Indigo Bunting
Green Heron
Yellow Warbler

Happy International Migratory Bird Day (tomorrow)!

David
