   Yesterday morning Bill Ellis and I visited the north end of Liberty Lake to look for shorebirds. Most were on the Baltimore County side. Among the birds seen or heard were:

Canada Goose  13
Great Blue Heron  1
Great Egret  3
Killdeer  10
Lesser Yellowlegs  5
Semi Sand  19
Least Sand  15
Yellow-billed Cuckoo  1, heard only
Red-eyed Vireo  1, heard only
Cliff Swallow  1
Indigo Bunting  1


We also stopped at the Bollinger Mill Road section of the watershed and found:

Canada Goose  14
Green Heron  2
Spotted Sandpiper  1
Least Sand  2
Yellow-billed Cuckoo  1
Crested Flycatcher  1
Kingbird  2
White-eyed Vireo  1, heard only
Red-eyed Vireo  2, heard only

At home this morning while walking the dog I saw 1 Gnatcatcher, certainly a migrant here.
