Since I am spending a few days at Deep Creek Lake, I decided to go back to the Youghiogheny River after the storms passed by us today. Go to the end of Old Morgantown W Rd and look along the mud where the river widens into a lake. 11 species of shorebirds are present this afternoon. I only saw 2 species yesterday afternoon.
Killdeer 110+
Spotted Sandpiper 1
Solitary Sandpiper 1
Greater Yellowlegs 1
Lesser Yellowlegs 2
Semipalmated Sandpiper 1
Least Sandpiper 6
White-rumped Sandpiper 1
Pectoral Sandpiper 4 (males & females)
Stilt Sandpiper 1
Short-billed Dowitcher 1

Plus an adult Red-shouldered Hawk and 1 Great Egret.
