Hi all,
I birded North Beach Marsh tonight in Calvert County, there were quite a few birds around; by far and away the best being a juvenile Red-necked Phalarope hanging out at the south side of the marsh. I was soon joined by Jim Stasz and we were able to turn up a few more birds. The bird was still present when we left at around 7pm.
