Hi Everyone,

After enjoying the RED-NECKED PHALAROPE that Jim Stasz found at the Pickering Creek Audubon Center yesterday (12 Aug 2011), Leslie Starr, Joe Turner, and I stopped in at the Chesapeake Bay Environmental Center (CBEC) in Queen Anne's Co.  Shorebird numbers were not as impressive as they can be here, but there were a few birds around (see eBird list below).

Have fun,

Ron Gutberlet
