Subject: eBird Report - Oxbow Lake , 5/16/08

Location:     Oxbow Lake
Observation date:     5/16/08
Notes:     The recent torrential rains, cresting of the Little Patuxent River, 
and backwash into Oxbow Lake have all combined to damage the beaver dam 
that maintained the water level in the lake. Lucky for shorebirds, there are 
now amazing mud flats available. Jay Sheppard reported approximately 25 
Solitary Sandpipers, which is one of the largest numbers of them he has seen 
at one time.  There are large numbers of shorebirds available for viewing! Bring 
your scope if you have one.
