I was at many of the same places yesterday, which leaves me surprised I didn't once run into you guys, especially since I was standing in the ORV zone for a couple hours scanning the ocean. 

We saw a lot of the same species, but I'd like to add some others:

Assateague ORV Zone: three RED KNOTs (flyby)
Vaughn North: Least Bittern, Bobwhite (including one at chest level no more than 10 feet away on a pine branch), two GULL-BILLED TERNs
Taylor's Landing: one adult Lesser Black-backed Gull
Truitt's Landing: Spotted Sandpiper, both yellowlegs, 200+ Least Sandpipers, 6 Semipalmated Sandpipers, 4 Western Sandpipers, 1 Pectoral, 1 Short-billed Dowitcher
Skimmer Island: 19 Short-billed Dowitchers, 4 Black Skimmers, 1 immature Black-crowned Night-heron
Bayside Development Marshes: 1 Greater Yellowlegs, 2 Black SKimmers,
