On my way to work I checked there yesterday, and also found the same species - but in numbers only about half of what you had today.  Their incoming!!  This pond is pretty reliable lately if any county listers need any of these species, and there is a possibiity of something more uncommon.  I also saw a group of 7 Great Egrets.  Big number of Black Vultures may be inhibiting to some extent, hard to say what their effect is on migrants stopping at the pond.

And, with the invasion of Uppies this week at Salisbury, I scoped for one on the big grassy mounds across the street (landfill proper), but only found Killdeer.

Sure wish we could check the big airport here in PG for sandpipers, but security won't allow it.

Cheers!
Jeff
