Hi Everyone,
Tonight I found an American Avocet in breeding plumage at Swan Creek in the North Dredge cell. Stan Arnold came and took some documentation photos. The bird was visible with a scope from behind the office trailer where you sign in. The bird was present when we left around 8 o'clock.
Swan Creek is at the end of Kembo Road off Fort Smallwood Road in northern Anne Arundel County.
Also present were a Short-billed Dowitcher, about 60 Least Sandpipers. We did not see the Black-necked Stilts which were at Swan Creek for about one month.
If you come to look for the Avocet please post for others if you saw the bird or not. Swan Creek is open from 7:30 to 3:30 Monday thru Friday.
