Daniel and I drove up to Boonsboro this afternoon.  We spent about an hour looking over the pond, but did not have any luck in finding the Red-necked Phalarope.   We did see Spotted Sandpiper, Solitary Sandpiper, Least Sandpipers and Killdeer, along with the normal swallows.  Although I have seen this bird before, I was looking forward to adding it to my state list.  No luck today but nice to be out birding with my son.
