I birded a few areas in windy Caroline, Dorchester and Wicomico County this morning.  There were 6 black terns flying close to Route 331 at Tanyard Marsh, along with a few Forster’s Terns.  Nothing notable at Choptank but had another 6 black terns at Hurlock WWTP, along with 100’s of swallows (mostly tree but joined by good numbers of bank and barn swallows).  Also had one white-rumped sandpiper and lots of semi-palms and least.  I checked out Ron Guthberlet’s post of Black terns along Log Cabin Road Turf farm and found 2 very cooperative BLTE, one sitting in the grass in plain view next to the road  http://www.flickr.com/photos/22207425@N05/6090856685/in/photostream
The flooded field near Wright’s Market had a large group of over 30 pectoral sandpipers with 6 lesser yellowlegs and a few distant peeps.  
No luck finding any rarities at Black Walnut Point in the afternoon but the winds had died down a little.
