Hi Everyone,

I spent a couple hours this morning (4 Aug 2009) checking turf farms in Wicomico County.  I found neither standing water nor shorebirds during brief checks of Little Ln, Jersey Rd and the fields by Wright's Market.  Similarly, I found no shorebirds at the Rt 50 Borrow Pit.

The turf farm along Hampshire Rd (near the jct of Naylor Mill Rd and Bus 13) did have standing water and the following shorebirds:

Solitary Sandpiper--1
Lesser Yellowlegs--2
Greater Yellowlegs--1
Least Sandpiper--3

Additionally, 2 Wild Turkeys were present near the tree line.

Have fun,
