Jay Sheppard reports these birds at the Little Patuxent Oxbow Lake Nature Preserve earlier today:

the best ....
45-50 Short-billed Dowitchers

also...
5 Little Blues 
6 Great Egrets
4 Little Green Heron
55 Great Blues (conservative estimate!)
50 Wood Duck
15 Canada Goose
12 Purple Martin
25 Tree Swallow
1 Eastern Pheobe
1 Yellow-throated Vireo
1 Scarlet Tanager
3 Eastern Bluebird
50 Red-winged Blackbird
 
and another dozen "other" shorebirds -suspect some were Stilt Sandpipers...but no way to be sure.

Jay mentioned that Joe Hanfman and another individual were also birding so maybe their lists will add more species.
