Hey everyone,
 Ed Conrad and myself birded most of the morning in Somerset County.
When the rain started we hit a few of the sod farms in Wicomico
County.  Highlights include:

American Bittern -- 1 -- Rumbley Point Rd (Somerset) -- flew across
the marsh giving great views
Tricolored Heron -- 6 -- Green Dumpster Rd (Somerset)
Pied-billed Grebe -- 1 -- Green Dumpster Rd (Somerset)
Black-bellied Plover -- 3 -- Old Railroad Rd Turf Farm (Wicomico)
Pectoral Sandpiper -- 4 -- Rumbley Point Rd (Somerset)
Dunlin -- 3 -- Rumbley Point Rd (Somerset)
Short-billed Dowitcher -- 7 -- Riley Roberts Rd (Somerset) -- heard
calling which allowed us to rule out Long-billed Dowitcher
Yellow Bellied Sapsucker -- 1 -- Pocomoke Sound WMA (Somerset)
Black-throated Blue Warbler -- 2 -- Pocomoke Sound WMA (Somerset)
Seaside Sparrow -- 2 -- Fairmont WMA (Somerset)
Saltmarsh Sparrow -- 4 -- Rumbley Point Rd (Somerset)
