Following this morning's Poplar Island trip, which featured few shorebirds but provided us with a Hudsonian Godwit, Jim Stasz located a Red-necked Phalarope at Pickering Creek. He called several of us and U-turns were made. To find the bird, drive past the driveway to Pickering Creek (off Sharp Rd., Talbot County) and stay right on Presquile Road for a short distance. (This is around the area where the shrike was present last winter.) Park along the road and enter an obscure and weedy path where there is a cable across two posts. Walk up on the dike to look. The bird has flown a few times but returns to a tiny pond east of / past the main pond.
White-rumped Sandpiper and Stilt Sandpiper are also present.
(Les Roslund, I should have your phone number.)
