        Hi all  I went  on  5 - 30 - 11  to the Chesapeake Bay Environmental Center and Kent Narrows  in Queen Annes County  to look  for some late  migrating  shorebirds.   The water in Lake Knapp  was way too  high for them so I  came up empty on  them . A brief stop a Kent Narrows   before  hand added to  the morning total of  29 Species .
