I was present at the Scissor-tailed Flycatcher spot roughly 7:30-08:40, and
could not locate it. No one else was present at the time. I then went to
Chesapeake Farms to look for the Reeve. No luck. I returned to Eastern
Neck to find roughly a dozen others, from many counties, and none had found
it. Virtually all left by the time I gave up, 11:30 or so. Another stop at
Chesapeake Farms failed to yield the Reeve again.
Nice birds I did see at Eastern Neck:
Bank Swallows - 2 (perched on the wire as I crossed the causeway about 7:15)
Kentucky Warbler - 1 (singing in the patch of wood on the right just beyond
Tubby Cove about 8:45)
Yellow-thoated Warbler - 1 (singing from the trees on the right as you exit
just after Tubby Cove, first heard by Bob Ringler).
The cast at Cheaspeake changed.
On the first stop I saw
Semi-Palmated Plover
Least Sandpiper
Semi-palmated Sandpiper
White-rumped Sandpiper
Short-billed Dowitcher
Greater Yellowlegs.
WHen I dropped in again, I added:
Black-bellied Plovers
Ruddy Turnstones
