A couple Semipalmated Plovers have dropped into pond at Germantown
Soccerplex. They (and most of other shorebirds) were at right hand end
of pond, if standing on model boat dock. Other shorebirds included: both
yellowlegs, Solitary and Least SP, and Killdeer. Did not see the
Wilson's Snipe. Soccerplex pond has not been this good in a few years.
I also checked the SWMP on NW corner of I-270 and Rte 27. It can reached
via Crystal Rock Dr, right on Kinster, right on Shamrock Circle. Pond
held both yellowlegs, a Solitary and 2 Least's and a Killdeer. Also a
pair of Wood Duck. Had a Willow FC last week but did not hear it today.
This pond is about 10 minutes from soccerplex.
