Yesterday I visited Ocean City and stopped to look at the inlet, the flats, and the WOC pond. The inlet was quiet with Turnstones and Sanderlings on the jetty, a few terns flying about, and haze over the ocean.
   There were lots of birds on the flats with the best being:

Oystercatcher  12
Sanderling  200
Common Tern  2
Forster's Tern  15
Royal Tern  10
Sandwich Tern  2
BLACK SKIMMER  8, six adults and 2 juveniles

   The water level at the West Ocean City pond is low and there is abundant shorebird habitat.

Wood Duck  15
Mallard  100
Green-winged Teal  10
Great Blue Heron  9
