Hey Mark,


I think you have photographed the first physically documented Long-billed Dowitcher for Harford County (there have been other sight reports).  The overall large and chunky shape looks good for Long-billed, but also the plumage: very dark back contrasting with a nearly unmarked fully orange underside and gray head.  I hope to head out in a few minutes to see if it is still there.  

Thanks for posting!
