Went looking for grasspipers yesterday w/ little success. Checked the
Germantown Soccerplex, Robert Hawkins and Patton turf farms and Polo
Grounds. All had Killdeer only (Horned Larks at polo grounds).
Other sightings of interest include: a Forster's Tern just upstream of
White's Ferry, a loose aggregate of 25 Eastern Kingbirds in the fenced
field at intersection of White's Ferry Rd and Elmer School Rd and 9
American Kestrels on the wires at Patton TF adjacent to last turf field
heading south on River Rd.
Also enjoyed the heron/egret show w/juv White Ibis at Hughes Hollow.
Would be good for my county list if a Snowy would pop in amongst all
those Great Egrets.
